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 do not see a group open in your area, contact Stacy Mozer at necritiquegroups@gmail.com. Please include your name, city, state, and what you write (PB, MG, YA) or if you illustrate. You can also see a q&a with Stacy Mozer about critique groups on Anna Boll's Blog.
