A critique group is a gathering of writers who come together to provide feedback on each other's work. Members share their writing, whether it be fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or other genres, and offer constructive criticism aimed at improving the quality of the pieces. This collaborative environment fosters growth and helps writers refine their skills. These groups can vary in size and structure, often meeting regularly to discuss submissions. Participants may focus on specific aspects of writing, such as character development or plot structure, and can include both novice and experienced writers. Many critique groups are formed around shared interests, such as genre or writing style.
