Critique Groups

Critique groups, five or six members who meet to share their work each month and provide constructive criticism, are in many ways the heart of the Charlotte Writers Club. Usually organized along genre lines (though some groups define themselves as “mixed-genre”), our critique groups meet on varying schedules and in locations spread across the Charlotte metropolitan area.

Though the club provides general guidelines, our critique groups function independently. Each sets its own schedule and has its own guidelines regarding the length of submissions, how far in advance of a meeting submissions must be sent to the group’s members, etc.

If you are interested in joining a critique group — and you must be a member to join — check the list below and mail the coordinator of the group in which you are interested to see if they are accepting new members. At the bottom of the list you’ll find groups currently forming. And if the genre, time, and location you need is not available, we invite you to talk with the Critique Group Coordinator about forming a new group.
