The author has belonged to many writers’s groups in the UK, in Spain and online, and she realises that no two groups are the same; they do, however, have things in common, and there are lessons to be learned from all of them.
This handbook includes a discussion of points to consider before setting up a new writers’ group, as well as a series of short first-person essays – Group Encounters – based around the meetings of a fictionalised group. In addition, the final section – A Critter’s Companion – includes advice on how to deal with receiving critique, and an essay on how to critique poetry - one of the banes of mixed-genre writing groups
