FWA Aventura Writers Group

Thank you all for attending our meeting on Saturday and thanks to Jeff Rivera for his stimulating presentation From Self-Publishing to Publishing Success.

Our next meeting at the library will be held on Saturday, January 27. This time, we will talk about our projects. Since this is our first 2-hour critique meeting, we will spend some time on establishing the rules and guidelins for our future critique meetings.

Meanwhile, here is a guideline for the next meeting:

If you want to receive feedback from the group on your Work In Progress (WIP) or your complete manuscript, contact me at least a week prior to the meeting.

If you want feedback on the entire manuscript:

- bring the five first pages (double-spaced) and read it to the group
- based on the genre, someone will volunteer to critique it. You may either bring 2-3 copies with you or propose at the meeting how to pass the manuscript to the reviewer(s). Some people might prefer an electronic copy. Based on size of the manuscript, we will set up a timeframe for feedback. The author & reviewer(s) will decide how they will communicate.


If you have WIP and want your peers feedback about a specific chapter, bring 10 or so copies and read it at the meeting and receive feedback right away. Please no more than 5-6 pages (double-spaced).

Question? Concerns? Contact me at m_most@yahoo.com
