It's a supportive group of writers setting goals, working toward goals and sharing tons of writerly information all of us has gleaned through our journeys.
The best part is the Critique Cafe where you can post pages (up to 10 pages at at time, throughout the month) and get a critique from me and others.
You can post pages from your work in progress that is giving you fits :-), your query, your synopsis whatever you're looking for a critique on.
