I'm not sure yet.

What are some books on writing OR in your genre that you either recommend for this group or have long wanted to read?

If you’re comfortable revealing, what’s something others might not know about you? (Examples: an unexpected hobby, interest, or experience).

What are some characteristics that describe you at age 7? What was the hobby you were most passionate about, or what did you want to be when you grew up?*

A couple of writers whose style you admire and would wish to emulate in your own work. Try for both contemporary and older.

What’s your greatest challenge that you’d like my help with? Feel free to be quite specific or broad— ie, gaining confidence in yourself, productivity, improving your writing.

Where do you think you shine most as a writer?

What would you like to learn from other participants in this group?

What sort of speakers or topics would most interest you for our in-person gatherings?

Throughout our sessions, we will regularly workshop one another’s writing. If you’d like to workshop yours, is there any excerpt you would like us to begin with, or would you prefer to wait? If you’re ready to share, please upload it as a Microsoft Word or Google Document. (Please limit excerpts to one chapter.)

Do you like to be in the proverbial “hot seat”—called on to share experiences, challenges, or wins—or would you prefer to listen and speak only when inclined?*
