Looking for critique group near me

@gorillo I'm in Ontario too, but in Ottawa.. Quite a trek form London!

There are regional Critique groups you can request to join on Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators:
https://www.scbwi.org/regional-chapters-new/
Maybe one of the two Canada chapters is a good place to start? Not sure if that helps but hope you can find the right group for you.

@thiskatecreates i had no idea this was a thing. Thanks for sharing!

@swordofodin Sure thing!

This is a great idea, I never would have thought seriously about it if you hadn’t posted. I’m in Ontario as well, but too far from London unfortunately.

@thiskatecreates Thanks for the info! I'm in Alberta, Canada. I didn't realize there was Canadian groups. The western Canadian one is in Vancouver, way too far for me, but at least I know one exists. It's nice to know that other like minded people are around, even if they are too far away!

@thiskatecreates I emailed my chapter about critique groups and my desire to join one - never heard back from them...

@thiskatecreates thanks for the suggestion! I’ll be looking into this right away.

@inkandspatter that’s too bad! Hopefully you get into a good group as well:)

@nessillustration That's disappointing. I hadn't tried it yet and was hoping it was a good source. A group studio to visit once a week had been helpful to me but I don't have that now and am looking for similar.
Not in Canada though

@thiskatecreates That's only for the Canada East branch though, every branch is run by different people so yours might be more responsive/organized!

@nessillustration I may still try then.
