Zoom Critique Group
Join us every Saturday from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM over Zoom
All are welcome to attend, but only SAWG members can submit their work for review and critique. Not a SAWG Member yet? No problem – Join us here!
Led by our President, Doc Richter, reach out to him if you want to join the group: [email protected]
Objective: Every submission is critiqued each week
Guidelines:
1. Submissions should be Word documents of about twenty pages or less (most are less);
2. Font is Times New Roman, 12 pt., double-spaced;
3. Page numbers are requested;
4. Send the coordinator your submissions by end-of-day Wednesday;
5. The coordinator amalgamates the submissions and distributes them to everyone Thursday morning – this allows time for every submission to be thoroughly read;
6. Write your individual critiques of the submissions and send them back to the specific author before the Saturday meeting;
7. In the 2:30 – 4:30 Saturday Zoom, we discuss the major issues and suggestions for each submission;
8. The coordinator provides the Zoom link when the submissions are distributed on Thursdays
As a note, the suggestions are only suggestions, the author decides what to change or not
In-Person Critique Group
Join us every Wednesday night from 7 PM to 9 PM at Denny’s at 13635 San Pedro Ave, San Antonio, TX
All are welcome to attend, but only SAWG members can submit their work to be read and critiqued. Not a SAWG Member yet? No problem – Join us here!
SAWG’s Wednesday night critique group invites anyone to attend!
How Does It Work? Members earn points by attending critique sessions, and the reading order is determined by whoever has the most points over the last six weeks. The more you attend, the more points you accumulate and your score goes higher.
Submissions are not read in advance. They will be read aloud by another group member and oral critiques will be given after. All copies of the submission will be returned to the author with additional margin notes from the group.
Guidelines:
1. Bring at least 10 copies of your printed submissions;
2. Submissions should be double spaced and no more than ten pages long;
