Members of the NW Arkansas Writers’ Guild are reaching out to writers who are looking for a support and critique group geared to novices.
New writers frequently have questions that differ from the concerns of writers who have been at the craft longer. The new Writers’ Group will be geared to the concerns of writers who are interested in writing for publication and feel that they would benefit from interaction with other writers, both published and unpublished.
Meetings will provide instruction and critique in a workshop setting. At least one published writer will always be present to answer questions. Participants will be asked to pay a fee of $5 per meeting to defray meeting place expenses.
Like the Guild, the Writers’ Group will meet for three 10-week sessions during the year, probably on Saturday afternoons from 2 to 3:30.
If you are a writer who lives within easy driving distance of Fayetteville and are interested in joining the Writers’ Group, send an email to Maeve Maddox. Include some brief information about what kind of writing you are interested in. Say what meeting days and times would be most convenient for you.
