Critique Workshop

Choose your own workshop experience:

• Critique and Have Your Work Critiqued: Bring pages for others to critique and help critique the work of others.

• Share and Critique: Bring pages to share without being critiqued and help critique the work of others.

• Critique Only: No need to have pages to share or to have critiqued right now, but you can experience the critique process by helping to critique the work of others.

Other event information:

• RSVP Required: Participants must sign up in advance. (Register online, in-person, or by phone by Monday, 26 Oct 2026 at 9 a.m., 435-723-5850).

• Please tell your writer friends about the opportunity. The more sign-ups we have, the more likely it is we can hold a group.

• This workshop must have at least 5 people signed-up in advance, or it will be cancelled.

• Each author selecting the "Critique" option will have approximately 15 minutes (depending on how many authors are participating) for their critique and is responsible for their own copies.

• Each author selecting the "Share" option will have approximately 10 minutes to do their reading.

• Each author may bring up to five (5) pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font, with 1-inch margins. Authors bringing more pages or works with more condensed spacing or font may be stopped in their readings at a best-estimate equivalent by the facilitator.

• Details as to how many copies to bring will be sent out via e-mail the week of the critique, after authors have registered for the critique. Each author is responsible for making copies of their own work.

• Authors choosing the "Share" option do not need to bring copies for the whole group. They can just read (or have it read) aloud to the group.

• Though we recommend authors choosing the "Critique" option distribute paper copies others can write on and refer back to during the critique, then return to the author, we are aware that in some instances an author may not be able to get copies made. Authors may opt to simply read their pages to the group and still get feedback.

• Workshops are signed-up for individually, not collectively.

• Access information: If you would like to attend via Zoom, please contact the library at least 24 hours prior to the event, 435-723-5850.
