Fiction Writers of Queens (FWOQ) is a small, informal fiction workshop entering its third year. We send work via e-mail, then gather to discuss it and to drink. Our goal is to improve our work and our discipline, and to discuss issues affecting fiction, publishing, and art. FWOQ meets alternate Tuesday nights (usually) at a bar in Long Island City. Our primary focus is on short stories.
We are looking for one or two new members to round out our numbers. To apply to join, please e-mail fwoqueens@gmail.com with a brief bio and a sample of your fiction (or a link to it). It's not that we're so lofty that we deserve an admissions process, it's just that we can't take everyone who might be interested (assuming anyone actually is)-- we're really trying to top it off at no more than seven, for practical reasons.
P.S. we are open to members from other boroughs (in fact right now there's only one member living in Queens).
