About this Event

Please Don’t Eat the Daisies: A Workshop on Constructive Critique by M. Keaton

The Professional Writer’s Creed:  

It is about the reader. It is always, only, ever about the reader. 

What Professional Constructive Critique is NOT:Critique is not therapy Critique is not friendship Critique is not play Critique is not cheerleading Critique is not a safe space (but it is as gentle as possible)

In this workshop by M. Keaton, we will learn how to give and receive professional constructive critique of our work, and how to use the critique to continue to hone our skills.
