Open Writing Discussion

Come join us for a night of literary discourse as we read and discuss our peers' writing in a friendly and supportive atmosphere! All styles & skill levels are welcome - the majority of our content comes from novels or short stories, but we regularly get everything from poetry to screenplays. You don't need to have submitted a piece in order to attend, and we encourage both new and returning members to offer their feedback on the pieces of the week.

In our meetings we strive for a warm and inviting atmosphere focused on constructive writing critique. We're all on the same journey here and regardless of our current positions, the goal is to help each other improve.

Each meeting will typically have four 30-minute slots for pieces, although if two particularly short pieces are posted they might end up sharing a slot. The first half of each slot is dedicated to reading the piece aloud and the second is for feedback from the group. Pieces of 2,000-3,000 words are generally the best fit -
