Giving and receiving feedback on our work can be scary, so we have a strict ‘Constructive Feedback Only’ rule where all feedback is given in the spirit of helping the writer improve. Critique groups are held monthly, all year, usually the third week of each month, Check our website www.goldcoastwriters.org and socials for dates. To attend, please join the Gold Coast Writers Association https://goldcoastwriters.org/about/memberships/ ~~ EACH WRITER TO BRING THE FOLLOWING: An open and caring attitude. All feedback should be constructive and informed. This goes both ways. Printed copy/s of one piece of written work for critique, up to 1000 words, printed on one side and stapled. (Bringing two copies of the same piece allows larger groups to get through more.) When formatting for critique, use 3cm margins, double spacing, an easily readable font, indent/new line for each line of dialogue and the working title and genre in the header. Ensure you have edited and proofread the piece to the best of your ability. A cover page stapled to the front with the following information. Genre of the work Any necessary warnings to readers (e.g. trigger or content warnings if the piece contains violence or graphic sex scenes.) Format of finished piece (e.g. is it a short story or excerpt from a larger piece of work, i.e. longer story, novella, novel.) Three or four points you would like the critique group to focus on when critiquing your piece. i.e. Character development/arc, dialogue, story arc, setting and world-building, genre-specific beats, conflict. Be as specific as you like or leave it up to the reader. ~~ HOW THE GROUP WORKS We read each piece and provide written feedback according to the guidelines on the cover page. If there is no cover page or no specific requests, please critique the general structure, grammar, dialogue, and readability of the piece. Please refrain from making subjective comments like ‘I don’t enjoy this genre,’ or ‘I don’t like this character.’ Write comments directly onto the pages, using the back of the paper if necessary. Provide as much written feedback as you can. You can also provide a summary stating: What did you love and what could be improved? The final 30 minutes will be an opportunity for each person to give and receive verbal feedback to/from each person in the group. We may break into two groups depending on numbers. When receiving feedback don’t defend your work, simply listen to what is being said. You don’t have to accept any or all of it. In the words of Neil Gaiman “when people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.” - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/tweed-heads/critique-group-tweed-heads-gcwa-members-only/200029180544208 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 2 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://events.humanitix.com/gcwa-members-only-critique-group-tweed-wednesday-9-30-am-19th-november-2025?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=tweed+heads-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Tweed Heads - **state**: NS - **country**: Australia - **location**: Tweed Heads Library - **lat**: -28.177267079048 - **long**: 153.54191342777 - **full address**: Tweed Heads Library, 17 Brett St, Tweed Heads NSW 2485, Australia, Tweed Heads ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: Gold Coast Writers' Association (https://allevents.in/org/gold-coast-writers-association/26058459) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/ab7a12f18c1f3ded9043ad44823d386fb401d38ce423625c674a1a406e6a8e7d-rimg-w1200-h600-dc01214e-gmir?v=1762904947 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/61c004ac1f0139cb21af687ea5df85c69ebedaa79628d957d8f45574f9bbffaa-rimg-w300-h300-dcbecfd5-gmir?v=1762904947 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Tue, 18 Nov, 2025 at 11:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Tweed Heads Library, 17 Brett St, Tweed Heads NSW 2485, Australia, Tweed Heads - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Gold Coast Writers' Association - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Critique Group - Tweed Heads (GCWA Members only) ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Critique Group - Tweed Heads (GCWA Members only)", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/ab7a12f18c1f3ded9043ad44823d386fb401d38ce423625c674a1a406e6a8e7d-rimg-w1200-h600-dc01214e-gmir?v=1762904947", "startDate": "2025-11-18", "endDate": "2025-11-19", "url": "https://allevents.in/tweed-heads/critique-group-tweed-heads-gcwa-members-only/200029180544208", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Tweed Heads Library", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "17 Brett St, Tweed Heads NSW 2485, Australia", "addressLocality": "Tweed Heads", "addressRegion": "NS", "addressCountry": "AU" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "-28.177267079048", "longitude": "153.54191342777" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "** GCWA Members Only **\nThis event is in NSW Daylight Saving Time\nQld Tim will be 8:30-10:30 am\n\nTickets: $0\nBookings required.
