WRITERS CIRCLE CALL OUT
Accidental are hosting a Writers Circle (sometimes referred to as a Writers Critique Group) for writers from September 2023 to March 2024. If you’re looking for an opportunity to immerse yourself in your craft or advance a work-in-progress, in a safe environment with peer support, this is for you.
Why? You’ll get valuable feedback, have access to peer-readers, get support with your work, grow together as a group, record it on your writing CV, and be part of a writing community. We will be limiting the group to a maximum of eight persons to ensure people have the opportunity to review others work and have their work reviewed in a safe and supportive environment, so all interested individuals will need to apply.
To apply is a two step process. 1) Fill in the form below and 2) send a writing sample of the piece you intend to focus on in the Writing Circle. The sample should be no more than 2,000 words. Please submit before 16th August 2023 as a .pdf or .doc HERE.
Notes on applying to the Writers Circle.
We’re inviting non-experimental writers and experimental writers to apply.
This group will be restricted to fiction and creative non-fiction only. No horror, poetry or science-fiction.
Writing Circle members must be working on a longer piece (a novel, novella, memoir, etc), whether they’ve recently started, or are nearing their first draft.
Circle members should be available to meet once a month, on the second Sunday at 2-5pm. Additionally, members can access space to write every fourth Sunday of the month.
Members will also have access to an online discussion and sharing platform between meetings to support one another.
There is a small charge of £60 to cover costs of running the Writers Circle. Subsidised places are available for those on low income. When applying, please indicate if you request a subsidised place.
Applicants must commit to reading other members work in advance of each session, and come prepared with feedback to generate discussion.
Applying does not guarantee a place. Successfull applicants will be informed in early September.
