Authors prefer to have their works critiqued throughout the writing process. Here you will find the requirements for submitting to the CSFWG group. "On Line" submissions are not accepted (I.E. we do not normally e-mail submissions out to the group for critiquing - if you are looking for an online critique group I would recommend Critters), although we do have an archive page as well as sending out submissions for those who miss a meeting.

Visitors must attend three meetings before joining. Only members may submit.

Below you will find the guidelines for submitting.

• All genres are accepted with the exception of pornography.
• Submissions must be in print, not on electronic media. An Officer of a group may make an exception to this rule if there are zero physical submissions for a particular month.
• The first page must have your name, contact information, title of the story, genre of the story and approximate word count (if known.)
• Subsequent pages should have the title of the work, page number and your name in the header or footer of the document in case the staples come loose. (This happens more often than you think it does.)
• Please specify whether your work is a short story or a novel in progress.
• If the work is a novel in progress, include a synopsis of previous chapters for the reader. Be sure to define key characters and events. (The synopsis can be single spaced.)
• Number the pages.
• Use one inch margins.
• Proofread and spell-check your work before submitting.
• Make sure you supply a sufficient number of copies for the group (one for each member and a couple of extra copies for new members).
• All submitted work must be typed, double-spaced and in a legible font (Example: 12 point Times New Roman).
• There is a 50-page limit per submitting member (this total limit includes submitting multiple works).
• If submitting multiple works, staple them separately. Do not bind them together.
• If submitting mulitple works, each member is allowed two submissions of prose or five submissions of poetry.
