Escondidio Critique Group
 After many years of hosting the Escondido critique group, which met at 10am on the fourth Wednesday of each month, Jan Flickinger is stepping down as host. A big thanks to Jan for her service to the Guild and other Christian writers over the years. If you would like to host this group in your home, or if you would like to start a critique group in your area, please contact the Guild (info at sandiegocwg dot org). |
