Write Night is a monthly writer's group that gathers to talk writing and critique each other's submitted work.
This is an ongoing writing group that is dedicated to encouraging exploration and refinement of writing craft. We will read each other’s work and provide feedback. We use google docs to collaborate month-to-month: reading works before meeting allows us to spend more time critiquing.
All adults are welcome. More information regarding our process and google docs will be provided at our monthly meeting.
