We’re excited to welcome acclaimed author and teacher Darnell Arnoult to a CWC monthly meeting for a conversation on how to give meaningful, constructive, and compassionate feedback in critique groups. Learn how to uplift fellow writers while sharpening your own craft in a supportive, productive, and respectful writing community.
December's meeting will, as always, be a "two-fer"--with two good reasons to meet with your friends at the Charlotte Writers Club. The first order of business will be to recognize and celebrate the winners of the Ruth Moose Flash Fiction Contest. As ever, the first, second, and third place winners will read their work.
Come for the pleasure of hearing work well done; leave with a little inspiration for your own work in the Creative Nonfiction Contest which is open now.
From celebrating the Ruth Moose winners, we'll turn to the all-important business of getting members new and old into already existing and groups just forming. If you write, you know the truth: There's no such thing as good writing, only good rewriting. And there is nothing like active participation in a critique group, a gathering of supportive writers who face the same struggles, critical readers who can tell you what's working and what had gone astray, to help you improve your work.
Skeptical? Come to the meeting. Those who have been members of a critique group (or groups) will convince you that you're missing out on one of the most significant opportunities the Charlotte Writers Club offers to members!
Join a group or start the group you want and need!
