Poetry Group

A poetry group is meeting once a month on an experimental basis. Please email Pamela Biery for details.

Poets are encouraged to bring 8-10 copies of a poem they are working on (no more than 2 pages, double spaced) and be prepared to read their poem, and have it read by others. Group participants collect and offer constructive, gentle criticism.

Non-Fiction Critique Meeting

The non-fiction critique group meets the third Thursday of each month at Jan Westmore's house in Nevada City from 10:00 a.m. to noon.

Each participant is encouraged to bring whatever he or she is working on for critiquing. It is helpful to bring 4-6 extra double-spaced copies so that everyone can read along, and make notes, as the author reads aloud. The group gives advice on grammar, structure and marketing, where appropriate.

We encourage published and new writers alike to join us at our work sessions. We always have a good time and learn from each others writing projects.

Please RSVP if you plan to attend by telephone to Jan at 530.265.0718 or by email. She'll be happy to give directions to her home.

Fiction Critique Meeting

The fiction group meets every other Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. We're diverse—all types of fiction are welcome. The nucleus of the group consists of suspense, children's, scif-fi, and romance writers.

Bring what you're working on as well as copies so everyone can follow along and make notes as you read your work out loud.

For more information or to RSVP, please contact Ron Cherry.
