The Colorado Springs Fiction Writer’s Group’s focus is to give the writing community a peer environment with which to share concepts, ideas, critiques and projects.

The CSFWG aids aspiring and established writers in improving the quality of their craft by offering online research, editing services, monthly articles, podcasting, promotion and critique groups for those in the Pikes Peak region.

At the monthly meetings, members may submit poetry or prose fiction to the group. During the course of the next month the submissions are given a written page-by-page critique, including an overall impression of the work on the last page along with the reviewer’s name. The work will be orally discussed at the next meeting, each member allowed the opportunity to express their feelings of the work’s strengths and weaknesses. Ideas, suggestions and compliments are given to the submitting member.

Members enjoy benefits such as a web-based bio page submitted to search engines, password protected archive page (containing previous month’s submissions and member information) and a central location for monthly meetings.

Projects include focused programs, such as age-appropriate presentations and writing competitions. Our hope is to instill in our youth an awareness in writing beyond the simply mechanical.
