Most writers, at some point in their lives, join a writers’ workshop, a weekly gathering of a dozen or so scribes who read one another’s work and offer constructive criticism in a group setting. They hope that by sharing their material and receiving feedback they will improve their craft. But take it from me, putting your work out there for critique can be a difficult – and even mysterious – process. Here is a glossary that can help you understand the terms you may hear in a workshop.
