Chincoteague Island Writers Group at the Chincoteague Island Library
Join us for 1 hour group sessions for all writing styles and levels, held twice monthly at the Island Library. Writers can attend single sessions or all sessions. No registration required.
Each session, writers can read a piece inspired from the provided prompt, or any other recent piece they would like to share. Time is limited to around 5 minutes per reading so everyone can read and receive feedback. Suggested length: 800 words & under.
The important stuff:
Feedback is only positive! We’re here to lift each other up and grow confidence in our writing.
We respect each other & each other’s work. Differences in opinion may come up in our writing, but not commented on within the session. We respect each other’s stories and backgrounds.
For more information, please contact the Chincoteague Island Library.

Prompt: Crossroads
Prepare a piece about turning points. Taking the job, leaving your hometown, breaking up with not-the-one. Opportunities and decisions – or indecision. The possibilities are endless. Ready… or not? Tell us about:
A time you took the path less traveled.
A time you made the wrong choice.
A time you couldn’t decide.
