Need help editing your manuscript? Struggling with dialogue? Not sure what direction your character should take? Then a critique group is for you! A group of your peers will offer suggestions in an informal, supportive environment. The Westfield NJ Critique Group meets at the Westfield Memorial Library on Broad Street in Westfield. We focus on children's writers from picture books to middle grade and young adult. Interested? Contact Katie at katieb430 at verizon dot net.
