Hello- I would like to join the new critique group for memoirs/ poetry and essays. I look forward to seeing the group in April.
I am interested in attending the New Group on the fourth Thursday in April.
I’m interested in the “Write Away” group at 9 AM on first Mondays. Would you know where they meet and how long the session runs? Thanks-

I am interested in attending the “Write Away Group”. Can you tell me where they meet and what is the cost to join? I am a historical romance writer and I am looking for a place to fit with a need to connect with other writers in order to learn.
I am curious to know about the Major Manuscript Group. Are there any romance writers in this group? Time and place of meetings? Thanks,
Lois
