Houston Area Writers' Groups
Writer's Ink is a writing critique group dedicated to helping our members produce their best fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry. Though we are based mainly in Fort Bend County, or Southwest Houston, we welcome new members from anywhere in the surrounding area. Members must be able to travel to our meetings and attend on a regular basis.
We are serious writers seeking publication and ask that all auditioning members be the same. We meet weekly and enforce attendance. Potential members should carefully consider whether or not they have the time to devote to our weekly critique group. We require that members read, critique, and be ready to comment on upwards of fifty pages worth of material a week, as well as submit writing of their own.
We encourage specific, constructive, polite critiques that ensure our meetings are as friendly as they are productive. Though we are not a social group, many of our members choose to socialize outside of the group, supporting each other as friends and fellow writers.
If you would like to audition for Writer’s Ink, please send a short, introductory letter and a ten page writing sample to our Membership Chair at Barbara@concretebride.com .
