Workshop Code of Conduct

By participating in this workshop, you agree to abide by the code of conduct:

18+
Though you may make friends in this workshop, it is best to enter this space as you would a classroom setting, where we are all cordial, respectful, and mindful not to talk over others, put down other’s ideas or work, etc.
Absolutely no bigotry (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, etc.)
Though I have already said to be respectful, I shall say specifically: be respectful in the feedback you provide. Remember how hard it can be to share your work, and don't forget that positive feedback is valuable too!
This group is meant to help everyone grow as writers, so it is essential that everyone is open and receptive to feedback.
No shaming. We accept all genres/styles/audience types (audience types = adult, young adult, etc.). We also accept writers of all stages, from beginners to veterans.
Do not redistribute the pieces that have been shared with you. Do not share information about any pieces on social media without the author's express permission.
It is understood that ideas are freely given in this group; if you give someone an idea, that means you are granting them permission to use it in their work.
Please attend meetings regularly (life circumstances allowing). It is not fair to only attend the meeting where you are being critiqued. If you have to miss a meeting, it is good courtesy to still provide notes to the person being critiqued.
Please block off ninety minutes for our meetings.

Those who do not abide by this code will be removed from the group without a refund.
