Bi-monthly Beta Readers @ Violet Crown

Looking for feedback on your work? Join us for our fall critique sessions happening every second and fourth Sunday starting in August. We'll meet in person at rotating coffee houses around Austin. >>> This week's location: The Violet Crown Wine bar and Coffee - Austin 7100 Woodrow Ave Ste 100, Austin, TX 78757 SESSION FORMAT We exchange writing a week ahead of our sessions, read and leave feedback, and then meet to discuss. Please share your work via OneDrive at least seven days prior to the Sunday we meet (preferably in a .docx, .pdf, or .rft format). Notes and feedback can be sent to the author as in-text comments, oral discussion, or via email. Authors are encouraged to provide reader guidelines—including preferred feedback style, format, etc.—at the top of their submissions. During the meeting, we will discuss each submitted work in turn, determined by the number of attendees. The author can ask questions and talk about feedback at their discretion. Each session will close with a round-robin of personal writing and creative goals to accomplish in the coming weeks. See the rules and etiquette below for more details. RULES Submissions * Submit up to 3,500 words. *Note: Word count does NOT include title, synopsis, or reader instructions.* * Only the first five works that are submitted will be accepted so that no one will have more that 15,000 words of reading ahead of a given session.
