FOURTH MONDAYS: new Online Fiction Critique Group

This peer critique group offers fiction writers a way to support each other in producing excellent, publishable fiction. In addition to critiquing, we will share tips, resources, and ideas, and occasionally do exercises.

It is led by Karen Shapiro Miller, whose stories and articles have been published in a variety of venues, including NASA websites, Northeast Magazine, and the Montague Reporter. In addition to writing, Karen served for many years as a Contributing Editor at Galileo Magazine, has taught fiction writing, and published a small-press mystery magazine.

Meetings from 7–9 p.m. every fourth Monday. For more information, or to see if there are openings, email karen@localaccess.org.
