Saturday Meeting Cancelled

Marshall Public Library
March 21, 2020 3:30pm

Pocatello Writers meetings are postponed indefinitely due to a need for caution and the Library’s closure.

Charity is investigating ways to meet online, via Skype or some other method, and will keep us posted about April.

So if you can, stay home for 2 weeks and do your part to help break the chain of transmission and hope we can flatten that curve soon. Take care and get some writing done.

In the meantime, keep in touch via our Facebook forum at https://www.facebook.com/groups/pocatellowriters/.

March 7. 2020 – Critique workshop

Marshall Public Library
March 7, 2020 3:30pm-5:30pm

If you need constructive feedback on your work in progress, reserve a spot to read by replying to the email by noon Friday. If you are planning to attend and not read, also please respond so readers will know how many copies to make.

Maximum reading is 10 pages double spaced. You may need to make about 5 copies to hand out for people to follow along, but we’ll let you know by Friday if you need to make more. Listeners will write helpful notes and their own names on the handouts before returning them to you.

If you are looking for a specific type of feedback or help in a certain area, let us know what to listen for as you read your piece aloud to the group. After your reading, critiquing begins with the person on your left, then continues clockwise around the table giving each person a chance to speak.
