We are now offering a new service, CritConnect. CritConnect is an automated system for finding critique groups in your area (geography, genre, and/or online.) We have set up a google doc where you are able to post information about what kind of critique group you're interested in joining. To access the google doc, please send an email to
CritConnect@yahoo.com
Our region is coordinated and run by a tremendous group of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer for any of our events or would like to suggest events, please contact Co-Regional Advisors Margaret Speaker Yuan and Colette Weil Parrinello at norcaconferenceATyahoo.com
