About this title

Synopsis:

The lonely life of a writer need not be. According to this book, there are ways to break that isolation and find encouragement and support within groups of like-minded people. Sections include "Writing Practice Groups," "Creating Writing Prompts," "Group Leadership," and even "What to Do with the Bores, Whiners, Control Junkies, and Thugs." Whether the group is oriented toward writing the great American novel or a book of family memories, this useful guide offers an array of effective techniques to help writers achieve their goals.

Synopsis:

Many writers, especially beginning writers, find support and encouragement within writing or reading groups. In this volume, teacher Judith Reeves offers guidelines for writers looking for their "tribe" - fellow writers, mentors, critique groups of like-minded writers, practice partners, and inspiration and support. It seeks to help writers of different levels and with a variety of goals.
