Developmental Edit Critique Group

Welcome to the Evanston Writers Workshop Developmental Edit Critique Group! We're a group of professional and aspiring writers who help each other polish our writing through workshop style critique. We will critique 1 submission (maximum 30,000 words) per meeting, with oral critiques at the meeting and a follow up in writing directly to the author by email. You do not need to be a member to attend or critique, however, you need to be a member in order to submit and have your own work critiqued and you must also agree to critique via this group at least two other works of similar length for each submittal of your own. Fiction and Creative Non-fiction/Memoir writers of all level and all genres are welcome, ages 18+. We will meet monthly on the second Monday of the month and alternate between online meetings (on even numbered months) and in person meetings (on odd numbered months). In person meetings will be held in the lobby of the Hilton Orrington, 1710 Orrington, Evanston, IL. If you have a submission for an upcoming meeting, please submit it via this link: https://form.jotform.com/251125391424147 by midnight of the fourth Monday of the month before the meeting to allow approximately two weeks for members to review your submittal.
