Everyone already knows the best way to improve your writing is to get your work critiqued. But few realize the next best way to step up your skills is by GIVING critiques. 
 
How so? By analyzing the work of others—instead of your own stuff that’s hard not to personalize—you’re more likely to come up with ways to improve it. And through that process you’ll start to develop that inner editor to improve your manuscripts.

If you’re writing horror short stories, a novella, or a novel and aren’t in a critique group, you may be stunting your own growth as a writer, limiting the potential of your fiction, and curtailing your likelihood of publication, good reviews, or a loyal readership.   
 
Lucky for you, Denver Horror Collective has three critique groups you can join. If you live near Denver, there’s the in-person group. If you’re anywhere else in the world—not just Colorado!—you can join our virtual critiques.
 
One focuses on short fiction and the other on novellas and novels. This summer, we have a few open slots for both, so if you’re interested be sure to email us at steeringcommittee@denverhorror.com. While we ask that anyone submitting a piece join DHC as a member (only $20/year, which we’ll prorate for half a year), you’re welcome to sit in or give a critique as a non-member. 
 
Stop stifling your own horrific evolution and join a DHC critique group today!
 
Worst Wishes,
Denver Horror Collective
