FAQS

WHAT DOES IT COST?

Membership in O.C. Writers is free. When we want to do something that will incur a cost, such as renting a booth at an authors' festival or paying a speaker, we will share the cost among those members who are interested in participating in that activity.

We also ask members who find the Meetup.com site useful to please help defray the $12 per month cost by making a donation at the site. Otherwise, our Meetup organizer, Nyx Goldstone, covers the cost.

The costs of running this website, making workshop banners, and any and all other administrative and printing costs are covered by DeAnna Cameron.


WHAT ARE THE RULES?

These rules apply to all O.C. Writers Facebook forums, the Meetup.com site, write-ins, and any other gatherings.

1. Treat those who share their creative work with kindness.
·         In non-critique groups and forums: The foremost purpose is to support and encourage each other, as well as learn from one another. Act accordingly.
·         In critique groups and forums: Follow the critique leader’s guidelines for keeping criticism constructive and positive.

2. Keep online language civil. Profanity will not be tolerated.

3. Do not mock, demean, or accuse another member of wrongdoing.

4. Limit self-promotion to one discussion thread per week and a comment in the WEEKLY CHECK-IN thread. Other postings may be considered excessive and removed. We want to celebrate our members’ successes, but we don’t want to be overrun with self-promotion, either.

If you have any questions or concerns about these rules, please contact DeAnna Cameron at ocwritersnetwork at gmail dot com.
