Details

The Accidental 2024/25 Writers Circle is being extended to give the current cohort continued access to peer feedback and further opportunities to develop their work.

Guidelines:

Submissions

To ensure everyone has time to read, reflect, and provide meaningful feedback, please submit your work at least 10 days before each session, with a strict deadline of 7 days in advance.

Session Flexibility

You may want to explore different session formats to support your progress. This could include: Project review sessions to step back and assess overall progress. OR Submission-focused sessions on pitching to publishers or theatre houses, refining cover letters, and crafting submission emails.

Commitment

Active participation is key to making the Writers Circle a success. If you can't attend in person, please join via Zoom to stay engaged. Live discussions provide dynamic feedback that written comments alone can’t replicate. The strength of the Circle comes from each member’s commitment to showing up and contributing.

Check-ins

We’ll check in every three months, but if you need support before then, don’t hesitate to reach out.
