A writing critique group supporting authors and writers of cozy mysteries, traditional mysteries, and whodunits. PUBLISHED or UNPUBLISHED writers are WELCOME! We also accept writing on the fringe of cozy or cozies with an edge. The cozy sub-genre is often misunderstood by traditional critique groups, so we thought we would create one that is cozy-specific.
We are organizing a face-to-face critique group in the Orange County area of California (between Huntington Beach and Anaheim). Please send us a message if you are interested in joining this group. :)
The admins of Cozy CRIT-ters are Sherry Bridges Clitheroe (writing as Abigail Leigh Reed) and Karen Sue Walker.
