A UNIQUE COMMUNITY OF WRITERS

The roundtables are critique groups designed to support you as you work on projects and continue developing the craft. Our experienced leaders are published writers who are also actively pursuing their own writing goals. They are committed to helping you reach your writing dreams — big project or small — fiction, nonfiction, plays or poetry.
Red Oak roundtable groups are appropriate for dedicated writers willing to share their work with a group to receive feedback, share ideas and build a network of writing friends.
Registrations open to all. Discounts apply to Inkslinger and Penmonkey Members.

This facilitated group is focused on helping you reach your creative writing goals in any genre. Our collegial atmosphere you will make you comfortable sharing your work; our professional-level feedback will help you take your writing to the next level. Not all participants have publication as a goal, but 3 of our members have recently-published or forthcoming books.
Held on Zoom, the group is a collaboration between the Medical College of Wisconsin Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities Program and Red Oak Writing.
Free for MCW students and faculty* but registration is necessary.
A Zoom link will be sent when your registration has been accepted.

Don't Look Back: The Problem with Backstory by Benjamin Percy
