Ohio North: Skipping Stones Retreat

October Illustration Critique

Get ready for our October Illustration Critique Group - Tuesday 10/20/2026 at 7:00 pm EST! This is a great opportunity to receive valuable feedback and encouragement on your artwork and meet other artists like you. We are a supportive group and many people have grown in their craft from attending these monthly. We will divide our time between each participant, so everyone has the chance to share their work. We use zoom and you will share your screen when it is your turn. If you are not comfortable sharing or don't have anything to share currently, you are welcome to come and observe, provide feedback to others and learn! Any questions, please reach out to our Illustration Coordinator, Kristi Tartara at [email protected]. If you sign up but cannot make it last minute, please email Kristi to let her know. We hope to see you at our next critique!

October Novel Craft & Critique Night

Novel Craft & Critique is our critique group dedicated to middle grade and young adult writers. Participants are welcome to email their manuscripts to fellow attendees in advance for more in-depth feedback, but sharing ahead of time is completely optional. You can share your work before the meeting, read it aloud during the session, or simply join the discussion, listen, and offer feedback if you'd like. Whether you're looking for constructive critique or just want to connect with other MG and YA writers, all are welcome! Members only. Registration required.
