March Critique Meet 2012
March 10-11, 2012

Always wondered about critique groups and how they work? Looking for a chance to meet up with fellow writers and illustrators to discuss each other's work in a supportive, professional environment? There's no cost to participate in Critique Meet, except for your time! The size of each group will determine how each location will be run. A large group may have an open-mike type of set-up, while smaller groups may have each participant read a chapter in advance. The options are endless.

Ideally we'd like to have every part of the state represented so that no matter where you live, you won't be left out.  Won't you join them? If you are interested in hosting one of our critique meets, contact Anita Pazner: anita DOT pazner AT gmail DOT com.

To decode the e-mail addresses, replace the AT with the at symbol (@), the DOT with a period (.), and remove spaces. Example: editor AT kidsbooklink DOT org = editor@kidsbooklink.org. (We do this to avoid spambots.)
