Welcome to the Chalk Scribblers online critique session.
We're a group, and occasionally a rabble, of writers of fact and fiction, for screen page and internet who are committed to supporting each other's writing. At our Saturday sessions, each person gives their opinion without interruption and then we have a broader discussion.
You're welcome to join through the link though if it’s your first time, we'd appreciate it if you would message one of the hosts below to let us know you're coming.
We share passages for critique through a closed Google Group, which ensures the writer retains the copyright. Because it's where we share our unpublished drafts, we do not open it to anyone we haven't confirmed is not a troll, ghoul, marketeer or any other member of the internet bestiary so we'll sort your access out when you join the session.
Our activities are based around reciprocity between peers. If you’re looking something more structured, we suggest the Indie Novella 9-week course which runs three times per year: https://www.indienovella.co.uk/writing-course
