Finding constructive criticism from your peers can be a difficult task. For anyone interested in having their creative works critiqued with the intention of improving each other’s writing, there is the Literati Creative Writing Club.
Literati is a club that serves as a writing workshop for people working in genres from poetry to non-fiction. Their general body meetings, which occur on Wednesdays at 7 pm in 013 Williams, are essentially a workshop where students read each others work and give both positive and negative feedback to improve a writers piece.
One goal of Literati is to foster a friendly and helpful environment where writers can come together and share their work.
By creating this community of writers Literati aims to share all the different aspects of creative writing by bringing in guest speakers and holding readings at the Warehouse on Gaines street.
Literati allows student writers who are looking to submit their work a chance to have it analyzed before it is submitted because it is common knowledge that the first draft is not always the prettiest.
According to Literati their goal is to help writers find that right word that they might be missing.
As Mark Twain once said, “The difference between the right word and the nearly right word is the same as that between lightning and the lightning bug.”
