StoryADay Critique Week
It can be hard to find a great critique group, but it usually works out well when
- You trust the organizer
- The group has clear goals and a clear timeline
- Everyone is writing the same thing (in this case: short stories)
- The group has a clear code of conduct and an active leader.
I run critique groups three times a year, and you're invited!

"The feedback I got from Julie alone was worth more than the price of the class, but I got huge value also from the lesson material and other participants."
- J. M. Randolph
"The feedback was fantastic and really helped me focus on where my first-draft weaknesses are and how to correct them in revision."
- Fleet Sparrow
"The class members' critiques were helpful, but Julie's critique alone was invaluable! I will apply all that I've learned in this course to all of my writings. Well-worth it."
- Magsart
"I always sign up the minute Critique Week opens.
The feedback is so helpful, and the community is always great. I love the chance to read other people’s stories, and now Reading Week offers the chance to see how some of them grow!"
- Laura Jane Swanson
"Critique Week reminds me that I really am a writer and that I can make mistakes and still be a writer with a story people want to read.
It also introduces me to other writers I want to root for."
- Marta Pelrine-Bacon
"This is a great group and Julie's attention to detail, organizational skills, and her encouragement in each writer's work makes this exercise a valuable tool in increasing my skill as a writer."
- Leslie Stack
