The submission deadline for the October Critique Session is:
September 30th, 2026 (Wed)

Specific times and locations for in-person feedback sessions, as well as submission details, are only available to those who are part of the Critique channel on the Writers of Ottawa Discord server.

To join a critique session for the month, you must:
– Submit a piece of writing that is 2000 words or less (if the piece is longer than that, your peers may choose to give feedback for just the first 2000 words).
– Commit to providing feedback to everyone else that has submitted something for that session (content warnings are required, and you can opt out of reading pieces – full guidelines in the Critique channel).

Joining the critique group just for one session at a time is permitted.

If this would be your first time joining, you will also need to:
– Attend at least one Critique Info Session in person to meet an organizer, some of your peers, and learn more about how the critique sessions work.

If you are interested in joining, please use tag @organizer in the #writing-chat channel of the Writers of Ottawa Discord server to request access.
