Spec Shorts • Last activity 20/Nov

A critique group for writers of short speculative fiction (I.e., complete stories under 7,500 words).

We check in on the 1st and 15th of every month about where we are with our writing and reading, and we each submit once a month.

As a backup option, members can submit an extract (chapter, scene, whatever) from something longer they're working on, if they don't have a complete short story to share.

Genres

Adult

Short Fiction (Flash Fiction, Low magic/fantasy, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror, Other Speculative Fiction)

Goals

To support one another's goals as short story genre writers.

What we're looking for in members

Commitment and engagement. Writing short fiction is a challenge. We’re eager to find critíque partners who give as good as they get and deliver helpful, actionable feedback in a polite, considerate way.

Inactivity Policy

If you are inactive for six months, we'll check in to see if you still would like to be a member of the group.
