Retrofits is NOT an official workshop of the Twin Cities Speculative Fiction Writers Network, but we do post notices of our meetings here so that prospective members can find us.

The Retrofits writer's group has been in existance for about four years. Retrofits used to be associated with MISFITS, but is currently independent.

Here's how Retrofits works: any member may ask to have the rest of the group critique his/her work. The piece to be critiqued is to be forwarded to the facilitator at least one week in advance of the meeting. We do a round robin style with members commenting verbally on the major things that they like and dislike about the work. Members often give the person being critiqued a written copy of the story with minor suggestions also.

Perspective members are welcome to sit in for a meeting or two. We are primarily oriented towards speculative fiction, but have also covered other types of writing for members.

Questions about Retrofits can be directed to Ricky Foos, who is TCSFWN's official liaison with the Retrofits writing group.

You can drop Ricky an e-mail via this link:

    Great critique session this time. Eight people attended and four of them had stories up for critique. The comments were respectful and helpful. A good time was had by all.

Who attended?

    •  Great to hear from everyone last night--both your critiques and your writing. I never was introduced to the one fellow last night--sitting between Damian and Mike--but hello and well met. So, who's up next month? 
    • Ricky E Foos (+3 guests)
       Four people submitted stories for critique and the comments were detailed and general positive. Everyone seemed to have a good time.
