Join us (in-person!) for our first Show-and-Grow event of 2022.

Don’t miss the chance to get free, professional feedback on your written work. Presenters will read up to ten minutes of their material, which will be followed by another ten minutes of feedback from our guest critiquers Lauran Strait and Michael Khandelwal. If you desire, your material can be read anonymously by one of our staff. We accept fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, but in all cases reading time will be capped at ten minutes. Reading slots are limited, and submissions can be made through our website portal.

Non-presenting audience members are both welcome and encouraged to attend. Material is displayed on the auditorium screen so everyone can view the text and read along.

Not only are these events great for learning more about the craft of writing, by attending you also show your support for your fellow authors and writing community.

After the event, many of us head over to Plaza Del Sol for lunch, conversation, and fellowship. All are welcome to join.

Fill out this form to submit your work. Deadline to submit is April 24 at 3 p.m.

We hope to see you there!

This event is co-hosted by The Muse and Hampton Roads Writers.

Please note: This class or event is in-person and will be held at our center.
