This is a group for anyone interested in writing Middle Grade and Young Adult stories and novels. We will meet twice a month; one time to quietly read and then openly critique 8-12 pages from something you're working on, and the other time to just take time away from our busy day to focus on writing for an hour or two. I'd like to find 5-8 other writers who want to form a little community to help each other and improve our own writing, while sharing successes. You do not have to be published to …

We use the Great Books Foundation's assorted collections, like "The Great Books Reading and Discussion Program" Series to allow us to make easy and quick reference to whichever text we're discussing. Great Books offer insights into human experience and common challenges to living a good life well, and offer happiness and hope for toda …
