For now, Vicky's made the best offer available - to put you on her waiting list. We will only look at starting new ecritique groups if we have five or more people needing one.
Can I ask that you liaise with Chitra in a month, and she can check with Vicky how many there are waiting for a place in a YA Critique group.Best

Morag, thanks for your reply. Your reasons for writing are very inspiring. I teach in a school where there are a lot of reluntant readers - perhaps you could try your work out on them. Is there a meeting in York next week? Is everyone welcome? Do you have experience of how an crit group works? (P.S. Love A Monster Calls and love Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness too - in my top 3 books) MC
