What we’re about

Writers Helping Writers, Mt is a laid-back critique group where we get together to share our work, support one another, and laugh.

We take in all writers. Young and old. New and experienced. Novelists and poets. Outliners and pantser. All are welcome to share their batter of creativity or just listen. Most people bring a few printed out copies of their piece so both corrections and smiley faces can rain abound, but it is not required.

We usually meet for two and a half hours (or until the library kicks us out), and the time we have is divided equally between those who wish to read. That said, if an allotted time is twenty minutes and someone reads for fifteen, not only is that a lot to digest in one sitting, but it doesn’t allow much time for reviews, huddles, or good old fashion yarnings. (A good reading is no more than 1,500 words.)

We also enjoy outings to the park when weather permits, and exchanging information about up-coming events, classes, and personal hurdles we have either conquered or been driven into the ground by. So if you are lonely and looking for like-minded people that understand how you both hate talking about your work, yet can’t stop thinking about how you should be under the pen even as you read this, please feel free to stop by.
