A Goodreads user asked Greg Spry:

Where would one find a critique group?

Greg Spry I would first start by checking meetup.com for writing groups in your community. I kicked off my writing career by joining a Meetup group in St. Louis. After that, I participated in about ten or so different critique groups in the various cities in which I've lived.

I strongly that beginning writers join a critique group. Not only is the feedback invaluable, but reading the work of other writers is just as helpful. It's far easier to see areas for improvement in someone else's writing than in your own work. Author bias--the fact that you know far more about your story than what's on the page--can only be overcome by sharing.

Critique and general writing groups can also be found on Facebook, G+, Twitter, and other social media outlets. I've heard Wattpad can also be a source of feedback, although I've never done it. And don't hesitate to share your work with friends, family, and coworkers. The opinions of people both in and out of your target audience as well as people both very knowledgeable and less knowledgeable about the art of writing are all important.

I hope that helps.
