Welcome to the Collective!

Welcome to Fictionista Workshop’s Writing Collective!

Introduction

Fictionista Workshop (FW) would like to invite authors to apply for our new Writing Collective. The Collective will include writing groups of three authors paired together based on writing strengths and weakness. Everyone involved in a writing group will gain valuable knowledge, edits, and feedback on their writing with no cost to them. Every week advice, resources, and ideas will be provided by FW. Our objective is to motivate authors so they are productive and reach their writing goals. The Collective offers different avenues for writers depending on where each author is in their writing process.

How it Works

• Groups are paired so each person contributes something to the group.
• Authors will be paired with those who have strengths in the areas they are weakest.
• After the writing groups are chosen, each group will receive a more solidified schedule for their group.
• Every week during the Collective, Fictionista Workshop will provide a PDF or link to a new lesson in the Writing Classroom.
• At the end of the week, each author will anonymously send in their weekly writing for the others in their group to read, edit, analyze, and critique.
• A schedule will be set for weekly online chat sessions (meetings) where the group members can get together (anonymously) to discuss what they have written and read from their fellow group members during the following week.

Our Collectives

The Collective’s schedule will be set according to where the authors in the group are in the writing process. There are three Collectives and six groups.

Authors starting with the Green Collective will begin with outlining, plotting, and character development for several weeks before actually writing. Those who are finished with their novel or are still writing will begin sending in their writing immediately.

This looks awesome! Where to sign up?
