Clubs

About

The Coffee and Creative Writing Club is a group that seeks to strengthen the ETSU experience through creative activity. It is open to the ETSU community, with faculty and staff invited to participate in our afternoon workshop meetings held on the last Tuesday of the month. During these afternoon meetings, we will workshop each other's creative writing, providing at least ten minutes of time for each participant to share and solicit feedback. Evening meetings focus more on creative education and activity through prompt writing and group readings. Students are welcome to attend all meetings. See below for an outline of our schedule.

Constructive Criticism

"The most important thing to keep in mind is the golden rule: Write a critique that you would like to receive yourself." -Critique Circle Knowledge Base

We ask that every member of the group treat each other respectfully, seeking to build-up, rather than tear-down the works of others. As such, participants should read the following before workshopping or critiquing:
