What we’re about

THIS IS A CRITIQUE GROUP FOR WRITERS OF FANTASY AND SCI-FI ..ALL SKILL LEVELS WELCOME! (If you write genre fiction, you’re also welcome!)
If you are well into your second, third, or 100th draft, and are looking for a fresh pair of eyes, this group is for you!

If you love meeting fellow wizards, mermaids, cyborgs, and storytellers over a good ale, this group is for you!

We will share our chapters/scenes for critique via our shared Google Drive each biweekly meeting. 3 of us usually share at each meeting. When we meet we will then share our notes and feedback on said chapters/scenes at one of Chicago’s many delightful breweries (or virtually).

There are currently 5 ongoing meetups:

- Sunday Brunch: virtual and/or in person
- Beta Read (for completed books): virtual
- Thursday short story: in person *CURRENTLY FULL*
- IN PERSON TUESDAYS

There are only 2 rules:

  1. Be a sharer—everyone must contribute and everyone gets a turn
  2. When sharing—be honest but be nice!

Last but not least—come and have fun!!!
