The Grandmaster Fiction Writers Roundtable
The Grandmaster Fiction Writers Roundtable is something that
the CCCS experimented with at the 2006 convention with some
success.
The roundtable is designed to be an informal critique and discussion
group. Space at the convention location will be provided for
this continuing event. All levels of writers interested in the
adventure genre are welcome and a limited number of participates
will be accepted.
Prior to the convention, participants will submit a chapter
or short story (adventure-related genre) and will be given copies
of each others work beforehand. The roundtable will begin with
the moderator determining the time available for the critique
and discussion process of each chapter/story. Each writer will
be asked to give a very brief overview of his/her submitted
writing, its history and thought-process. Each piece of writing
will be read and discussed, followed by other roundtable writers
giving a non-judgmental critique. Comments and suggestions on
how that particular piece of writing might be improved for future
use and publication will also be provided. This process will
continue until all works have been presented and discussed.
Non-participating observers may be present as space permits
and (at the discretion of the moderator) take part in critiques
and discussions.
