A small, friendly group to inspire and support English-language fiction writers in Vienna.
Typically we meet once a month for a Story Exchange event in central Vienna, with a calendar of the upcoming dates below.
One of the group’s foundations is knowing that actively reading and reflecting on other people’s writing is a great way to learn how to improve our own writing.
There are two essential elements to a Story Exchange event:
- Attendees share a short story or extract in the week before the meeting to allow attendees to read it and offer feedback
- In exchange all attendees read and share constructive feedback on all the pieces submitted for that exchange
For the group to work all members are expected to give as much as they receive and to follow process which will ensure fairness.
