I have been searching for a dedicated critique group that has literary fiction as a focus. Can anyone recommend any? Critters has a literary workshop, but it's not very well-attended.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I don't know of any but I'll join you if you find one.

I do belong to an non-virtual group: one YA, one mystery, one fantasy, one memoire, one shapeshifter and me. At first I thought it wouldn't work, but I've learned so much critiquing them. And they have been super helpful when I go off into my literary cave and don't take the reader along. (It doesn't hurt that we all like to eat and drink...)

If you find one, please let me know.

To a degree, critques can cross genres, provided people are disciplined enough to read work they may not really enjoy. But, whether the story is literary, sci fi or fantasy, to name a few, other genres typically overlap into the primary. Mystery and suspense build tension, romance is common any time you have more than a couple of characters, humor can lighten up even the darkest story.
