Write or Die: A Science Fiction & Fantasy Writing Group
FAQ


Who can join?

       Anyone can join. The membership is totally open to any and all who are interested in joining and writing science fiction, fantasy, or horror.


When do you meet?

       WorD meets every other Tuesday (with some exceptions--see the meeting schedule). Meetings normally start at 6:45 PM and end at 9:00 PM. The group frequently goes out to eat after meetings.


What if I don't write a lot (or hardly at all)?

       WorD has no restrictions on its membership based on writing or lack thereof, so you can join if you barely write, if you write fairly often, or if you write constantly. So long as you intend to write (something, someday, somewhere), you'll be welcome.


I don't know how to critique, what do I do?

       Read over our procedure page and try this link. If you're still uncertain, confused, or intimidated, just try going to a meeting or two and observe how the rest of the group does it. Critiques don't necessarily have to be detailed; simply pointing out what areas you liked, and what areas you didn't like or found confusing, can be a big help to an author.


Who came up with this thing (and why)?

       Diane Turnshek is our beloved founder and frequently-late person. Because she had no one to critique the first draft of her first story, she created the WorD group.
