Don’t let fear or inexperience keep you from getting out there. Learn tips and tricks on how to organize a group, run a discussion session, why you might want to restrict the types of genres and styles of submissions (screenplays vs. prose), how to work with difficult members, and how to approach giving and receiving critique.
