Interim Critiques
NOTE: The full shedule of upcoming meeings can be found on the home page.
The guild sponsors weekly Wednesday night critique sessions at Barnes & Noble, Maverick Library, and iHop from 7-9 PM. The critique groups are run in the same fashion as the Thursday night workshops.
Second Wednesday
Barnes & Noble at San Pedro Crossing : Map / Directions
The second Wednesday of each month the group gathers from 7-9 p.m. at the Barnes & Noble's address is 321 NW Loop 410 #104. It is near San Pedro and just north of Loop 410. Go north on San Pedro, just a block outside Loop 410. Turn right on Isom Road (it's Lockhill Selma on the left-hand side) and then turn right again into the San Pedro Crossing shopping center. Turn left in front of the first block of stores and B&N is down there.
We will be meeting in the small event space on the left side of the store (Nature/Pets) with two long tables seating up to 16 people.
All are encouraged to come whether you have something to be read/critiqued or not. There is a Starbucks in the Barnes & Nobles for those who need their coffee.
Third Wednesdays
LaTaza Coffee House at Brookhollow & 281: Map / Directions
The critique session is held the third Wednesday of each month from 7-9 p.m. at the LaTaza Coffee House. LaTaza is located in the shopping center with HEB off Brookhollow and 281. Take 281 and then the Brookhollow exit. If you come at Brookhollow from the south, when you exit, you should either jump over quickly from the exit into the HEB parking lot or use the intersection just ahead of the entrance and turn right. LaTaza is at the northeast corner of the shopping center.

Fourth Wednesdays
John Igo Library at 8700 Mystic Park: Map / Directions
The critique session is held the fourth Wednesday of each month from 6-8 p.m. at the John Igo Library. The library is just south of Loop 1604 NW. Between Bandera Road and IH-10, take Hausman south and turn right on Kyle Seal Parkway. Take the first left into the library.
Fifth Wednesday
Locations will be announced.
Currently if there's a fifth Wednesday in a month, we'll hold the session at Local Coffee from 6-8 p.m. Locak Coffee is located at 700 E. Sonterra Blvd, Ste. 1113. Take 1604 to the Stone Oak Parkway exit and go north on Stone Oak Parkway to the first light. Then turn right on Sonterra Blvd. The shop should be in the shopping/office complex on the right just before the second traffic light.
First Wednesday
The session is not held the Wednesday of the regular SAWG monthly meeting, which is held the first Thursday. Locations will be announced.
BUT...there is an occasions once every other year or so when the SAWG meeting is held on the second Thursday (when holidays interfere) and thus, we'd have an interim critique session on a first Wednesday. There are also occasions when the second Wednesday is followed by the first Thursday. (It happens in July, 2010). We will have a meeting that first Wednesday.
Session Format
The critique session follows the same basic format as the monthly fiction critique workshops, but is much more laid back. Fiction and non-fiction works are welcome: ten pages, double-spaced. We suggest bringing along extra copies so folks can read along.
No need to confirm attendance, just show up. Guests and non-members of SAWG are welcome, and encouraged to attend.
