Welcome to
Trinity Writers' Workshop

Read & Critique 

 What we do:
Each meeting begins with a quick overview on business matters. A full business meeting is the first Tuesday of every month. And the third Tuesday of every month we also have a half-hour workshop on writing topics given by one of our members. Before we begin reading and critiqing, we announce our Submissions, Acceptances or *Rejections.

*There is a contest at the end of every year for most rejections. Remember – you must submit in order to be accepted OR rejected!

We will split into two rooms if the number of readers requires it. Sign up for reading in either room is first come first served.

Every reader gets twenty minutes to read. Usually there is a fifteen-minute read with a five-minute verbal critique from the group, the remainder in written form. (But you can read the entire twenty minutes and receive all your critiques in written form if you chose.)

 There is a volunteered moderator for each room and he/she will time you and call upon the critiquers one at a time. There is no defending of your work during your critique. (You can’t explain to an editor or agent once it is sent, so...)

 

*You may read only your own original work.

We critique:
Grammatical errors                         Story holes
Plot flaws                                            Characterization flaws
Inconsistencies                                 Flow

Or whatever might be needed...

We have silent critiques where willing members will read over a chapter, a section or the entire piece of work – whatever is agreed upon – on their own time for a more extensive critique.

Our writers write:

Literary novels                           Screenplays
Short stories                                 Flash fiction
Poetry                                            Songs
Children’s book: short or long                
Nonfiction                                      Magazine articles
Craft books                                   Technical books
Synopses                                       Query letters
Genre novels                                  Historical novels

And so much more!!!

*You may read only your own original work.

 We have several published writers in our group.

**We are a First Amendment club – you are not prohibited in what you read. However – you must inform the group before reading offensive, violent or salacious material, to give those who prefer not to hear it a chance to step out of the room during that read.

 

 *Dues are $30 for one calendar year (or pro-rated quarterly from when you join). You may attend up to three meetings before paying to see if TWW fits your needs. For an application, please click JOIN.
