For more information, call 228-1551. The groups also writes poetry, film scripts, plays and nonfiction. Works are circulated and read in advance to be critiqued at each session. The goal is to become more proficient for personal satisfaction and to better the chances of being published.
Discussions blend encouragement and support with incisive and informed critique.
