The Writing Group Book - Creating and Sustaining a Successful Writing Group

Many look for these things in professionally led workshops or classes, but a better resource for most writers is a writing group - a community of peers where information is not purchased but shared

In this insightful guide, more than 30 members of writing groups explain how and why they found a group to join or started one from scratch; how they have kept their group going; and what it has enabled them to accomplish, from simple self-expression to a lifetime of published work

Poets, playwrights, screenwriters, fiction and non-fiction writers, memoirists, children's writers, and others share their tips on how to give constructive critiques, manage difficult members, delegate responsibility for maintaining the group, and keep meetings productive

Online groups, international groups, women-only groups, and more are represented, and a resource section details ways to market and sell finished work
