Poetry Group
Coordinator: Warner Conarton
7:00 pm | 4th Thursday of each month
No Meetings in December or on Important Holidays
Our group sits around the table in the back and enjoys each other's poetry. Sometimes a dozen of us, sometimes twice that. It's not a big, noisy thing, although sometimes folks bring songs and an occasional guitar or bongo drums.
Most stuff goes, unless it is totally gross. It's a membership thing, but anyone's invited a couple of times to check us out.
The Tampa Writers Alliance is a splendid support organization for writers, poets, and playwrights. Come by and bring copies of your writing so we can share.
Writers Critique Group
Coordinators: Kim Hackett and Mark Milliken
7:00 pm | 2nd & 4th Wednesday of each month
No Meetings in December or on Important Holidays
Please e-mail submissions to Mark Milliken. Visitors are welcome to attend but only members' works will be discussed, generally 4-5 pieces per session. Works to be critiqued are shared with Tampa Writers Alliance members approximately two weeks before the next scheduled meeting. The author has a chance to respond after verbal critiques are finished. Emphasis is on "constructive criticism." We're striving to become better writers, not at tearing people up.
If you would like to attend the Critique Group and give it a once-over, it is best to let the coordinator know ahead of time so he can forward you the pieces being critiqued at that meeting. Otherwise, it's sometimes difficult to make complete sense out of what people are saying about the submissions. Such notification, however, is not a requirement. You're always welcome.
