The buzz at the San Francisco Writers Conference this year was all about critique groups. I thought this might be a good time to remind everyone that one of the benefits of being a Tri-Valley Writers member is access to critique groups. I have belonged to one for years and I can’t imagine how I’d get along without their input. Hector Timourian leads the TVW stem group, where you learn to give and receive useful critiques and the basic protocol of what it means to be a part of a good critique group. Send Hector an email today and let him know you are interested.
