Nov 23rd Novel Group Meeting

For those of you looking to join the Novel Group, now’s a great time. Eric Lanke has a historical fiction novel set during the American Civil War up for review.

Due to word-count constraints, on Monday, November 23 at 6:30 in the Wauwatosa Library’s Conference Room, we will be officially reviewing the ODD CHAPTERS of the beginning section of Columbia, found at: http://www.milwaukeewritersworkshop.com/story/columbia-beginning.

After reading Chapters 1 and 3, write down your initial thoughts in the first page of the critique sheet, found at: http://www.milwaukeewritersworkshop.com/story/new-novel-critique-sheets (use Part 1 – The Beginning). Then, after reading Chapters 5, 7 & 9, complete the critique sheet and bring it to the session for discussion.

The odd chapters total 27K words. You are more than welcome to read all the chapters (85K words) and Eric would very much like to hear what you think about all of it, but we are only going to critique the odd chapters.

If you have any questions about this assignment or about the Novel Group in general, email me at plafferty@wi.rr.com.
