Writers Weekend: The Art of Giving Feedback (without Losing Friendships)

Co-presented with California College of the Arts

If you’re a member of a writing group, or thinking of starting one, how can you establish processes and norms for offering rigorous critique—without risking hurt feelings or resentment? Leslie Berlin, Frances Dinkelspiel, Susan Freinkel, Gabrielle Selz, and Julia Flynn Siler, all members of long-time writing group The North 24th (who have collectively published scores of books, articles, and essays), will model their methods, offering tips and practical strategies for giving encouragement and constructive criticism alike. Come see how it’s done, and bring your burning questions on how to strengthen your writing group, and your writerly friendships! Pay what you can to guarantee a seat; FREE to walk ups space depending.
