Spring Writes Literary Festival

Schedule:

2:00pm to 3:15pm: Reading and Panel: Writer’s Critique Groups: Nourishing Feedback

Current members of the Cayuga Writers group will describe who they are, what they do and why, how the group works and —most importantly—how it helps their writing. Members of the group will read a short example of work, describe the range of feedback the piece received–from grammatical nuts and bolts to questions about audience, from plot revisions to just plain empathy. We’ll review the nuts and bolts of how we made sense of this critical commentary and then share the revised piece. The audience will be invited to share first hand in the writer’s process, from first draft to receiving spoken and written critical commentary, to digesting and making sense of the feedback, and finally, to successfully incorporating it into the creative process. The audience will see the value of the group’s commentary. With Judith Pratt, Felicia Ansty, Persephone Doliner, Kathy Morris, and Barbara Schramm.
