Poetry Critique Group is a weekly poetry workshop during which we examine the submitted work of two poets. We discuss the poets’ 1-2 poems at length, typically for around 45 minutes, and provide a variety of feedback based on what the poet is looking to glean from the workshop. We generally keep workshops to 8-12 participants to allow everyone the opportunity to provide in-depth feedback.

If this is your first attendance, we ask that you please email us at [email protected] so that you can get a feel for how the workshop is run. Please include in your email your goals as a poet, and how the critique group can best help you reach those goals. Providing your email also enables us to send you the poems we will be discussing before each meeting.

*PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR ATTENDEES DO NOT RSVP ON MEETUP.*
IF THIS WILL BE YOUR FIRST TIME ATTENDING OUR CRITIQUE GROUP, PLEASE CONTACT US AT [email protected] TO ARRANGE A DATE TO OBSERVE ONE OF OUR UPCOMING MEETINGS.

Greetings, fellow writer.

Do you seek to someday have a short story published in a literary magazine? Do you dream of finally finishing that novel that’s been living in the back of your head for the past few years now?

Congratulations, because you’ve found what you’ve been looking for, and it won’t cost you a dime. We’re The Critiquery, an online home for writers who want to have live discussions of submitted work. Instead of a giant, impersonal critique forum, we offer weekly workshops of no more than 15 people where you can ask specific questions and get specific answers. All workshops are held over ZOOM so you can participate from anywhere in the world.

We’re open to any narrative prose, fiction or nonfiction. Learn how to receive and give the feedback that is so essential to the success of any author. Whether it’s the first step in your literary journey or the thousandth, take the next one with our trained facilitators and dedicated community of writers.
