Writer’s Critique Circle

Join Metapsychosis editor and author of Ulfhildr, Mary Thaler, for an ongoing small-group writing workshop focusing on craft, while providing support and accountability.

This group of writers will meet twice a month to share their work, encourage each other, provide accountability in our writing practice, and share helpful feedback. All forms of writing (poetry, fiction, non-fiction, long forms) are welcome. Participants are expected to share one short piece of writing (about 5,000 words or fewer) per month, and to read the work of other participants in order to react thoughtfully in discussions.

To promote good discussions and engagement, this group is currently capped at 8 participants on a first-come, first-serve basis. We welcome and encourage applicants from all cultural backgrounds, and will not turn away anyone who sincerely wants to improve their writing and is willing to participate in good faith. Late registrations are welcome, so long as the group is not at capacity.

This group meets on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month at 7 pm EST/EDT (convert time zone) via video conference.

Your Contribution

The Writer’s Critique is open to supporting members of Metapsychosis at the “Illumined Mind” ($25/month) level—or for a one-time payment of $250 for the year (through December 2024). Creative Members of Cosmos Cooperative are also welcome to participate as a benefit of their membership.

As an alternative option, we offer a Work-Exchange membership, which allows you to contribute 1 to 2 hours of volunteer labor to Metapsychosis each month in lieu of payment. This could include performing small tasks such as proofreading, website updates, social media promotion, or creative work (illustration, media production, etc.), depending on your skills.

Cancellation/Refund Policy

If you find that this group is not a good fit for you, or you become unable to participate for any reason, you can easily cancel your membership anytime, through your account here on the website or by contacting us. We will gladly refund your last month’s payment.

If you choose the one-time payment option, you can get full refund anytime up to 30 days from the start of the group. That gives you two sessions to decide if this group is for you.
