Writers Ask: How can I find a writing group?

Behind every great writer, there is a writing group.

No matter how talented the writer is, how confident their writing sounds, how they seem to have been born with all the good words ready to go—I promise you they have at least one person—if not a whole group of people—they rely on for feedback before their work ever gets to an editor’s inbox. Look at the acknowledgements of their books; all those people they’re thanking that aren’t editors, agents, or family members? Yep. Writing group.
