Gondor Writers' Critique Group had a great first meeting. The members who attended are a quite diverse group of writers, with people with much experience and others who are just starting out.
It was decided that we would meet monthly on the last Friday of the month from 4pm to 6 or 7, depending on the time needed. The next meeting will be on Friday May 26th.
If the timing of the meeting does not suit and you are keen to join, contact me at elaine@gondorwriterscentre.com. We may get the numbers to form a second group.
I discovered after we had set the date that that evening, Friday May 26th, from 7pm we have Chris Collin here for a talk, telling us how he self-published and sold 30,000 books. So anyone coming to the meeting that night might like to stay to see him. He is being paid to be here so it will cost $20 to attend his talk.
The group decided that they wanted to have their critique on their work-in-progress, but for those without a current w-I-p we will set a short story subject.
I will be setting up a Dropbox for everyone to upload up to 1,000 or 1,500 words of their work for all to download. We will all then download, comment and bring the comments with us, or print out the copies with comments and bring them with us.
As the group grows, we will divide into similar interest groups, but for now we will all comment on all work submitted, if we feel comfortable to do so. Members have the right not to comment on all work.

I hope to see you at some future meeting.
