Triangle Sisters in Crime members can enjoy the membership benefit of participating in a critique group! Limited slots are available. To sign up for a group or to join the waitlist, please contact:
- Pamela Raymond – [email protected]
Submission details
- Submission of Word manuscripts no later than 10 days before the meeting to the organizer
- A limit of 10 pages, double-spaced for submissions
- Any genre can be submitted, not just mystery
- You can ask for specific feedback (help with characters or pacing feedback, for example) or ask for a general overview - include that specific request with the submission
- THIS IS NOT A BETA GROUP – entire manuscripts are not accepted
- Think like a reader, not a critic - the goal is to be helpful and actionable, not craft a story YOU want to write or be unnecessarily harsh or cruel
Here’s what critique members have to say!
“The Triangle Sisters in Crime critique group has helped me considerably in 'seeing' my prose and helping me to make adjustments. It's a nurturing yet tough group that really wants to help a writer become stronger. And it's worked. I just published my first book—and it's much better thanks to my friends in the group."

“Critiquing the other members' short stories has helped me to develop a whole new writing skill that I hadn't had the opportunity to learn before.”
