Novel Track


The Novel Track is currently full!

If you join Spectrum as a new member, you can still chat with our community on Discord.


How it works

Novel Groups meet at least once a month, either independently or as part of a larger Novel Track get-together. 

Usually, one or two people in the group submit a chapter or section of their novel, and the rest of the group provides feedback. There are groups that operate with different methods as well (such as providing feedback on completed drafts). Depending on where you are in your drafting process, you should be able to find a group that can help.

How to join

To be eligible to join the novel track, you must have attended two prior regular critique meetings. After which, you also need to have submitted a story or chapter to the regular critique meetings.

This is to ensure that you are comfortable with both giving and receiving critical or constructive feedback, as well as gauging whether or not we are the right group for you. No point sending your novel to a bunch of people if the style of feedback we give isn’t the kind you’re looking for!

Once you’ve attended two meetings and submitted your work, you can then fill out the Novel Track Interest Form that is available to members. We will either match you with an existing sub-group in the Novel Track, or set up a new sub-group once there is a critical mass of new members.
