Writing groups vary in process. Some write on set topics, some don’t. Some email their work to group members, critique at home, then come together to give individual feedback to each other. Some read aloud at their meetings, some don’t. Time constraints often apply.
The first group you approach may not be the right one for you, but give it a few meetings to decide. It is always difficult to break into a new group – give it some time.
If you contact a group and say you will visit, then visit or ring with an apology – basic manners.

Great article Rachel. This is great advice for anyone wishing to join or start a writing group. In reading both of your posts, I am seriously considering finding a writing group. I believe not only will a group environment help my writing, but also act as a motivating factor.

Thank you!
