I am available for consultation and have kept old student lists, so can help you form one. I have definite opinions about what works and doesn’t. See Anne Lamont’s chapter on Writers Groups in Bird by Bird. For a novel, it’s pointless to endlessly critique the draft. Also beware critique for critique’s sake. On big creative projects, encouragement is most needed. Beware those who hog the time and/or are too negative.
You have the right to choose whom you want to be in a writers’ group with. You have the right to help form the purpose. The purpose of the group is important to know.
Spectrum Center in Houston has a Writing Center that several former students have liked. Writespace in Houston is a dynamic writing class and support space. The Writers’ League out of Austin offers classes in Austin, and its Summer Writing Retreat is a deal
and a wonderful pick-me-up and get me started again.
Poets & Writers’ Magazine is always listing markets for all kinds of writing. |
