Poets, playwrights, screenwriters, fiction and nonfiction writers, memoirists, and children’s writers share advice on how to give constructive critiques, manage difficult members, delegate responsibilities for maintaining the group, and keep meetings productive. Online groups, international groups, and women-only groups are represented, and a resource section details ways to market and sell finished work and how to parlay one success into a writing career UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0614/2003003522-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0662/2003003522-b.html ER -
