The Novelists' Spot Critique Tribe
What it is
Black Writers Collective’s “The Novelist’s Spot” is an online writers’ group for writers of long fiction who need feedback on novels and novellas in progress. It is a reciprocal tribe, meaning if you submit material for others to critique, you are required to critique their works in return. Being part of this critique tribe will help you with your own writing and become a stronger writer in the process.
If you would like to have your material critiqued, but do not want to critique others, consult our editors’ directory to hire a freelance professional who offers that service.
How it works
The group meets monthly to critique 2-3 members’ projects per session. Members are not required to submit every time but are fully expected to critique every time. Materials are submitted within five days after each meeting to be critiqued during the next session. Members must participate in two group critiques prior to submitting material of their own for critique.
Requirements
In addition to the reciprocal requirement, members must be active on an ongoing basis (no in-and-out participants). Premium membership is required to join this tribe along with agreement with the group terms and conditions.
our Facilitator
A lifelong lover of written language, Sherian Brown holds an MS in Cardiopulmonary Science and quickly gravitated toward medical policy revision during her twenty-year career as a cardiovascular perfusionist. Subsequently, she expanded her editing to works of fiction and joined WordWiser Ink, a boutique editorial company that specializes in copyediting and proofreading. Since then, she has been featured on Black Editors & Proofreaders, contributed to Black Writers Collective, and assisted a host of authors with her editorial services.
