About the Group

I started this group to gather queer and trans folks working on creative nonfiction and memoir writing. I am three-quarters into writing a memoir, and I would love to have other folks working alongside me.

This group meets every two weeks on Thursdays at 6pm EST. 

Group agreements 
  1. We will dedicate each session to one writer and their submission. We will take turns if multiple people have a piece to get reviewed.
  2. A week before the meeting the person who wants to get their work reviewed and receive feedback will post their submissions as a Google Doc link in the post about the meeting that I will create.
  3. The submissions will be between 1,000 and 5,000 words and the writer should add which type of feedback they are hoping to get. We agreed that submitting unpolished work is more than welcome.
  4. If the content is heavy, please add a trigger warning at the top of the Google Doc. For example: [trigger warning: this piece talks about sexual abuse]. In that way, a reader is prepared and can also decide not to read the piece.

 

Feedback expectations
  1. Step 1: everyone writes feedback as a comment - about 400 words. Feedback should be overall not line edits. 
  2. Step 2: during the online meeting the writer will read their piece or a part of it and we will discuss the piece, ask questions, and the writer can also ask questions.
