New England SCBWI Critique Groups

NESCBWI Critique Groups are held, usually on a monthly basis, in communities throughout all the New England states. Each group is unique, shaped by the talents of the Critique Group Leader and the participants.


On this site you will see a list of the currently open critique groups in each state. If you have any questions, contact Stacy Mozer at necritiquegroups@gmail.com. You can also see a q&a with Stacy Mozer about critique groups on Anna Eleanor Jordan's Blog.


Don't see a group in your area? Fill out our critique group request form and we will contact you if a group becomes available. If you would be interested in starting a group, email Stacy Mozer. You can also check back since this site is updated regularly.



Connecticut

CT - Avon
The Avon/Farmington Group is for MG and YA authors. We meet at the library. Contact Meera at meera7777@yahoo.com for more details.

CT - Bethel
Sunday Scribes welcomes writers of Middle Grade and Young Adult fiction who are working toward publication and are willing to give/receive honest constructive critiques. For more information, contact Diane at sundayscribesgroup@gmail.com

CT - Berlin
New critique group for picture books, both rhyming and non-rhyming, is forming in the Berlin area. I am looking for serious authors who are willing to give and receive good feedback for their manuscripts. We’ll start by meeting in the Berlin area, but I am willing to alternate meeting places within around a 30 mile range. 
Should you be interested, please email me at colleenomurphy@gmail.com.

CT - Glastonbury
We are open for story crafters! "Connecticut Writers' Group" meets in Glastonbury, CT two Tuesdays a month at Barnes and Noble, 630-830 pm. Visit web site for further info and inquiries. www.debditomaso.com

CT - Granby
This group is for picture book writers of all levels.  We meet weekends, once a month at the Granby Public Library.  In addition to critiques, we discuss children’s publishing, conferences, networking and the craft itself.  Please respond only if you are writing or revising picture books routinely, or a published author looking to receive and give constructive feedback on manuscripts.  Please contact:  Mary at mmun22@yahoo.com for more details.

CT – Greenwich
Looking for Young Adult/Adult writers in Greenwich, CT. The group focus is staying productive and asking the right questions while providing meaningful feedback about a fellow writer’s work. Other manuscript formats - middle grade and picture book manuscripts - will be considered outside of the critique group space among writers and authors who fiddle around with multi-format work (I do!) and would like to exchange other works. The group will meet at the main Greenwich Library once per month. Please contact Kathryn Merrifield at kjmbny@gmail.com.

CT - Guilford/Shoreline Area

Once Upon a Shoreline Writer’s Group welcomes all and orally critiques any material (manuscript or portfolio) aimed at the children’s market. We draw from an area stretching from New Haven, CT east through Lyme and inland to Middletown and, in twenty-five years, our members have popped champagne corks 157 times for new contracts signed. The group currently meets at Guilford Community Center on the first Wednesday of every month from 7:00-10:00pm. Contact KathKud@aol.com
