Writers’ Lab Live Online
Monthly online feedback group
Writers’ Lab Live Online is a monthly online critiquing group where members can submit their writing to receive valuable feedback from the rest of the SWC community. Writers’ Lab Live will take place on the first Tuesday of every month from 7.30pm until approximately 9.30pm CET and will be chaired by author and SWC co-founder Keith Gray.

We asked out members what they would find most benefitial and a crit session or feedback group was the unanimous choice. And we listened! So since last autumn we are offering our unique SWC Writers’ Lab Live Online.
Any members who would like some advice, guidance or an encouraging boost with their current work-in-progress is invited to submit up to 2,000 words of prose or 2 poems which will be discussed during the session.
Feedback sessions and crit groups are at their best and most useful when everybody has read each others writing. Therefore, if you plan to take part in a Writers’ Lab Live session you will be required to submit your own writing one week in advance of the session, as well as commit to reading your fellow writers’ work in the days running up to that month’s session.
