As part of our mission to encourage one another in our writing endeavors, CCWF is seeking writers interested in forming smaller writing communities dedicated to fellowship, critique and/or group writing. We would like to personalize these communities that meet regularly outside the meeting times. The meetings can be in person or online.
- In Peer Support Groups, writers will get to know other writers, develop supportive relationships, share prayer requests and discuss professional issues informally.
- In Critique Groups, writers will meet to share their writing and receive helpful critiques.
- Writing Groups offer accountability and a regular time to work on individual projects in a group setting. Support and Critique Groups may hold write-ins as part of their activities. Write-ins, open to other members, will be announced our newsletter.
Our goal is for each of these groups to become a smaller community where you will find the practical support you need in your journey as a Christian writer. Although we will begin with a suggested format and agenda, the community structure is flexible and will depend on members’ needs. Each group can set things up in a way that fits the group’s needs.
CCWF will help facilitate these groups by providing guidelines and helping people find the right group for them.
