]]> Comment on How To Form and Promote a Writing Group by Captain-kid http://www.cuckleburr.com/how-to-form-and-promote-a-writing-group#comment-138 Captain-kid Sat, 20 Dec 2008 20:06:11 +0000 http://www.cuckleburr.com/?p=374#comment-138 Great article! One thing to add, if you can't find enough writers in your area, or if it's just inconvenient to meet, you can also start a writers' group online. You miss out on the in-person camaraderie, but reviews are often more thought out. Plus, it's easier to keep track of the feedback you get and the revisions you make. There's a few sites out there for conducting online writing groups. A couple friends and I started one called Review Fuse (www.reviewfuse.com/) that allows you to upload you work and then have members of your writing group walk through guided reviews and also provide inline comments. It's easy, fun, and free. Great article! One thing to add, if you can’t find enough writers in your area, or if it’s just inconvenient to meet, you can also start a writers’ group online.
