L. de Vincent
This is well researched, and covers every aspect of writing in a group. It also includes actual group member's experiences. It contains all the questions that come to mind, including how to respond diplomatically to a writer's work that is less than stellar. I highly recommend this book for anyone thinking about starting a writer's group.
This book is full of information on how to start a writer's group -- an A-Z approach. I found it helpful, especially starting an on-line group.
Lydia E. Harris
My personal experience in both face-to-face and online groups validates much of Taylor's advice, and I recommend her informative guide. Full of tips and practical help, it is a motivating, quick read that provides tools to begin writers' groups or fine-tune existing ones. I'll keep my copy handy.
Lydia Harris
