How can joining a critique group help you?

  • Receive objective and loving feedback on your drafts from writers in your genre.
  • Adopt new writing techniques as you read and give feedback on others' work.
  • Discuss publishing avenues.
  • Engage in fellowship and prayer with fellow writers for the Kingdom.

Critique Group News

We have active critique groups in the categories of non-fiction, fiction, Bible study, Messianic, and Children's. If you would like to observe a critique group in your area, feel free to contact the coordinator of the group listed in the chart below.

We will be taking sign-ups again at our 2011 conference and hope to expand our availability in each category and in more areas throughout Orange County and Los Angeles. Please come to the critique group table at the conference to make your selection.

We currently have no online groups, but if you would like to submit your interest in joining an online group, please complete the form below and we will contact you when we gather enough people to fill the need in your genre. If you do not see a group that fits your genre or is in a location near you, or if you would like us to help you find a group, please also complete the form below.

For group members and coordinators, we recommend Writers Groups that Work by OCCWF member, B. J. Taylor. The book is a great resource for planning and running critique groups.
