SCBWI NY METRO Critique Group Connection - Find Your Partners in Writing
Apr 16, 2026
1 event
Available seats 15
Will be shared after registration
Finding a critique group is essential to your writing life. You’ll get fresh eyes and different perspectives, strengthen your craft, spark new ideas, and discover where your draft might be unclear. And just as important, you’ll find community because writing is solitary work and can get lonely. So come and join us on Thursday, April 16 at 6:00 PM and meet collaborators who are eager to connect, revise, and cheering you on. We’ll talk about how critique groups work, and how to participate and you’ll have plenty of time to mingle and meet your potential writing partners.
