Host Bowen Gillings will facilitate an online live critique session via Zoom. Each participant will read aloud the first 500 words (or two pages) of their work-in-progress. Fellow attendees will then have a few minutes each to offer their feedback to the writer.

Open Critique commences at 6:30 p.m. on the first Thursday each month starting in May 2021. Sessions last approximately two hours. Participation is by first-come, first-served reservation only and limited to eight participants per monthly session.

To reserve your place, please email Bowen Gillings at critique@pikespeakwriters.com. Reservation requests must be received no later than 24 hours prior to Open Critique’s start time. Please, no repeat submissions.
