Podcast: Writing Groups — A Debate
podcast no-i-in-writing writing-groups feedback
I’ll admit it — I went into this one as a writing group skeptic. Christy, ever the patient educator, tries to bring me around to the idea that writing groups can actually be useful if you do them right. It turns out the trick isn’t just finding people who will read your stuff, it’s finding people who will give you the right kind of feedback and establishing relationships that actually make everyone’s writing better.
Topics Covered
- The advantages (and very real pitfalls) of writing groups
- How to get feedback that’s actually useful
- Establishing productive, sustainable relationships with writing partners
- Why Chris has been doing this wrong the whole time
Shout Outs
- Diana Ma — for being a fantastic example of what a good writing partner looks like
- Amanda Kost — another great writing partner in the mix
- Felicia Rose Chavez — whose work on workshop culture is worth your time
- Carly Jayne — for her perspective on the creative community side of things
