The workshop's format. Market response times. The pros and cons of workshops. For the brave and the bored, a short Worldwrights quiz. The basic format follows the Clarion model.
People hand out copies of their stories to everyone else to take home.
Between meetings, members critique the stories, marking line edits and writing down overall comments. At the next meeting, we go round in a circle with each reader in turn giving their reaction to the story. During this process everyone else, including the author, tries to remain quiet. Once everyone has given their opinion, the author can ask questions and people can add any further remarks. Then we proceed to the next story.
