Anyone can join who enjoys writing and would like to meet and talk to other writers, receive feedback on your work, and comment on the work of others in a supportive, friendly environment. We don't want group members to be overwhelmed with group mail, so we try to restrict the size of the groups to something manageable. Actual numbers vary with each group, depending on how much participation there is from group members, but we try not to host groups that are enormously, uncontrollably large. The groups are run through e-mail lists, like our classes. When you join a group, we send you the group e-mail address.
Any mail sent to that address is automatically copied and distributed to everyone else in the group.
To participate in the groups, all that is required is that you have access to e-mail. Please specify the group or groups you wish to join. We will send you the group e-mail address and more information on how to use the group, and subscribe you to the group list. All requests to join the groups must go through Writers on the Net. You can't subscribe yourself automatically.
