ABOUT OUR GROUP by Jon Gibbs
Who are we? We’re writers, just like you. Founded by Lew Preschel (Manalapan) and Art
Frank (Colts Neck) in 2006, the Monmouth Creative Writing Group welcomes writers from
all walks of life. Whether you’re a complete novice, or a seasoned professional who’s
already written an epic novel that’s ready for publishing, this is the place to meet like-minded
people.
What do we write? Short stories, novels, articles, screenplays, poems…you name it, our
members write it.
What happens at our meetings? We share ideas and information. Those who want to,
bring some of their work to the group for feedback and constructive criticism (shouting
‘rubbish’, and the throwing of rotten fruit is strictly prohibited).
When do we meet? On the first Tuesday of the month, we meet at Colts Neck library
(1 Winthrop Drive, Colts Neck, NJ 07722), and on the third Thursday of each month, at
Monmouth County Library Headquarters in Manalapan (125 Symmes Drive, Manalapan,
NJ 07726 – opposite Target), at 7:00pm.
How can I join? All you have to do is turn up. You can participate as little, or as much, as
you like – just remember to be positive in your critique.
If you want up to 1,500 words of your own work reviewed, please use standard ms format
ie: A good-sized font like Times New Roman 12 pt, double spaced with 1" all-around
margins.
Remember to bring enough copies (at least ten for Colts Neck, fifteen for Manalapan),
along with a brief description of the piece, to help the group understand your target
audience/publication.
Please note: there's usually a waiting list. Priority is given to those who've attended at
least one of our meetings before. Also, if you want your work read out by another
member, you'll be expected to read for someone else, which is only fair.
