[close] This group is for whatever you feel comfortable saying! If you wanna vent, ask questions, meet people, this is the group to do it!

[close] A circle of people preparing to publish their next/first book. Looking for beta readers? A critiquing partner? A review? Just looking for a free read? Then you've come to the right place. There are three parts to this group. I just want to read free stuff: The name says it all. Here you can go through the list of works on offer, and request a copy from the author. Critiquing circle: for those who want constructive criticism to improve their story before publishing, akin to what an editor in a publishing house would offer. This part of the group will be limited to ten people to make it easy to manage. It is for the Indie who is serious about their work (and who would rather avoid negative reviews by fixing problems before publishing). Beta/critiquing partners: a place where you can find a beta match. Here you can go through the list of books on offer by others looking for a beta-partner. If you like the sound of a book in here, you can then approach the author about becoming a beta match. So – if any of these sound like what you're looking for, check out the relevant thread.

[close] Are you an aspiring poet, writer, or lyricist? Do you like sharing your creations, or reading other people's works? Then, this group is for you!

[close] Are you an author? This is a safe space to workshop a piece of prose, poetry, or perhaps just an idea. A chance to discuss and critique constructively without bias. My name is Shane Buckland. I am an author of 4 books currently. I have a few hours a week I can dedicate to this group. Let's learn together.
