Are you a writer who wants support and encouragement?  The Idaho Writers Guild (IWG) offers three critique groups for IWG members:

NEW: Treasure Valley Author Team is a weekly group for professional and aspiring authors of commercial, full-length novels for the following purposes:

• To critique early drafts of manuscripts during the writing process
• For beta reading of completed manuscripts
• Team coaching and assistance for each member’s professional writing career and long-term publishing goals.

The critique group meets every Wednesday, 6 pm (or starting later, if group consents) to 9 pm, at ABU Games, 7211 W. Colonial St. The group is limited to 8 attending members by invitation only. Members commit to weekly attendance. Please read all guidelines for the TV Author Team.

To apply for group membership, interested writers should contact moderator David Rozansky, 303-717-4169 (voice or text), FlyingPenPress@yahoo.com, or via Twitter @DavidRozansky.

Critique Group #7 is now open to IWG members. Please read the guidelines for Critique Group #7, and contact Karl Henwood with questions and to sign up.

Critique Group #6 has one slot open. Please read the guidelines for this group here:  guidelines for Critique Group #6 . If you are interested in joining the group, email Connie Weidel.

If you would like to start your own critique group,  the IWG will assist you with guidance on how to create, manage, and contribute to a successful critique group.  IWG members can see guidelines for leading a critique group by clicking here.
