Novel in Progress, an Austin Writers' Group is a critique group for fiction writers. Novel In Progress began meeting in the late 1980s and has launched many published authors, both traditional and indie.
We meet the second and fourth Sunday of each month at the Austin Recreation Center (near 15th and Lamar, behind the football stadium) from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Writers who are interested may simply show up for a meeting to see what it is like, but we encourage you to email the chairperson, Tosh McIntosh (tosh_mcintosh@yahoo.com), in advance to make sure the meeting is being held. Around Easter and Christmas the ARC is sometimes closed. Guests can also receive in advance an electronic copy of the work that will be discussed at the meeting.
Guests become members by joining our Yahoo Group to begin receiving meeting notices. After attending 5 meetings and having submitted 5 pages of their work for informal critique (just as practice—we do not reject members based on their writing), the guest becomes a full member and is eligible to be scheduled for a 25-page roundtable critique.
Writers' League of Texas, established in 1981, is a nonprofit professional organization whose primary purpose is to provide a forum for information, support, and sharing among writers, to help members improve and market their writing skills, and to promote the interests of writers and the writing community.
With approximately 1,000 members nationwide, we are composed of published and unpublished writers as well as those who recognize the written word as art and simply love to read.
Our name, Writers' League of Texas (formerly Austin Writers' League), reflects our membership base, over 50% of which resides outside the Central Texas area, and represents the numerous programs we offer to the entire community of Texas writers.
We are partially funded by the City of Austin and the Texas Commission on the Arts. Our members also contribute a great deal of time and money to help us achieve our mission. Learn how you can contribute and become a member.
