SUMMARY:February 2025 CW Meet-Up
DESCRIPTION:Our February meet-up will occur on Wednesday\, 2/19 from 4-6pm at Clawson’s Restaurant in Beaufort. We will participate in a Carteret Critique\, passing our work to fellow writers for feedback\, using constructive critique guidelines. Please bring 3-5 pages of work\, stapled or otherwise attached together. Each reviewer will spend fifteen minutes on a piece of writing before passing it along to the next reader. \n\n\n\nDon’t worry about the exact length of your writing – short pieces will leave extra time for reader reflection\, and longer works will receive feedback on their first pages but maybe not the ending. Please do use a standard font in at least 12 point – the more legible your work\, the better chances of  usable feedback.
