New Group for LGBT Writers in the Tri-State/NYC Area!

We are forming a Writers Critique Group for LGBT writers in the Tri-State area. The objective is to have a space where we can get constructive critique and feedback from each other on our writing. This is beneficial to the creative process because it allows us to share our work with fellow writers without being pre-judged or scolded because of LGBT characters and content.

The format is a rotation of submissions and critiques, which could include short fiction, novel or novella sections, or non-fiction/memoir. The group co-founders have experience with contemporary, literary, fantasy and young adult stories and novels; but all genres are welcome.

We are looking for writers who are committed to writing and supporting other writers. This means you have pages to submit approximately every six weeks, and have the time to read 10-20 pages weekly and provide thoughtful written and verbal critique. Reading and written critique will be done in advance of each meeting.

The group will meet once per month in Manhattan at Starbucks on 6th Ave at 14th Street or at a suitable cafe. Our first meeting is scheduled for Sunday, January 29th at 1pm.

Please send an email to Abigail [[email protected]] or Andy [[email protected]] with a little about yourself and your writing if interested in joining the group. We would like to welcome everyone who is interested, but to keep the group productive, we may have to limit the number of members to eight.
