Novel in Progress
Austin’s longest running critique group for
emerging and established authors
Writing can be a solitary pursuit, but it doesn’t have to be.
Since the 1990s, Novel in Progress (NIP) has been a trusted space for novelists to refine their craft through in-depth critique and thoughtful discussion. We are a committed group of writers who meet twice a month for a virtual roundtable critique, focusing on up to 25 pages of one member’s work-in-progress per session.
Community
At NIP, we celebrate each others’ wins, commiserate over shared struggles, and exchange industry knowledge. It’s a rough world out there. We help each other out.
Constructive Feedback
Ever wondered how a reader might experience your work in progress? How about 15-20 readers?
Accountability
Deadlines can be great motivators. Our critique calendar submissions are a low-stakes way to benefit from the magic of due dates.
