What I like about Redbird...
"It is a set date on my calendar when I can get immersed in my writing.
I love that there's a diverse group of people with a variety of talent and style.
I always gain something from each of the people reading.
Because we meet regularly, it has become a 'safe' place to spill my guts on paper.
John is a great poet and editor. While the critiques of all of the members are helpful in demonstrating which parts of my writing "speaks" to each of them, John's thoughtful guidance often helps me edit my writing so that it "GRIPS" my audience.
I feel I am growing as a writer under the tutelage of all the participants in the roundtable."
Annie Parcels
