What we’re about

Come join us at the Greenfield Public Library on Wednesday evenings from 6 - 7:40pm as we read and critique each other's prose and poetry! We meet at the Local History Room upstairs. This is a free workshop and drop-ins are welcome.

Here are the guidelines:

-Writers bring in three single-spaced or six double-spaced pages max of any prose or poetry in-progress.

-Writers are encouraged to bring enough copies (around 10) so that everyone can read along and provide thoughtful feedback.

Format:

-Writer reads aloud their work.

-Readers can raise their hands to share constructive feedback, and the moderator calls on a few of them. Readers should be concise and considerate when giving feedback. Feedback lasts around five to ten minutes.

-Readers can also write their feedback in the margins for writers to review.

-Writers can’t talk back when being critiqued.

-Move on to the next writer.
