Find your feedback people–and the perspectives your pages need at this 6-session critique circle.

Getting words on the page is hard enough. But then what?

You start wondering: Is this working? Is it any good? Does it make sense to anyone besides me and my dog/cat/couch?

Whether you’ve been through a critique group before or this is your very first time sharing your writing out loud (gulp), Bring Your Pages is a supportive space to get the feedback you need—and learn how to give great feedback to others.

At Bring Your Pages, writers (and Wordcrafters) Daryll Lynne Evans and/or Jeaux Bartlett will guide you through how to give constructive, helpful, compassionate critique, centering the writer’s voice and intention throughout. You’ll not only receive useful feedback on your own writing, you’ll learn how to give good feedback to others, and how a healthy critique group operates.

You’ll learn what’s working, what’s confusing, and what your piece is really about (it’s often not what you think). Plus, you’ll gain skills in giving feedback that’s kind and clear—skills that will level up your own writing, too, because you can learn so much about the craft of writing by learning how to analyze and give feedback on others’ work.

How it works
Each session, a few writers share their pages in advance. You’ll read their writing before class and come ready to share what you loved, what confused you, and what you want more of. If you’re the writer receiving the feedback, you’ll get your peers helpful written notes on your work. And you’ll learn a ton from giving feedback, too.

This class is for:
Writers working on any genre of fiction or memoir who want:
-Feedback on their writing from a trusted circle
-Support staying motivated and accountable
-A deeper understanding of what’s working—and what could be stronger
-A regular, low-pressure space to be with other writers

No need to be “done” or “perfect.” This space is for the messy middle—where real progress happens.

Whether you’re revising a novel, polishing a short story, or just getting your first pages onto the page, Bring Your Pages gives you the support and accountability to keep going.
