New Cactus Quills of Arizona invites amateurs and professionals to a friendly writing critique group. This 'fifth generation' edition connects principally through the Internet.   

With a modest number of writers, the group maintains a balanced mix of published and non-published writers. Since 2002, the group has attracted publishers, poets, writing instructors, journalists and communication consultants.

While a number of the writing partners are professional writers, we specialize in the writer who has a completed a manuscript.  Because of its objectives and size, the writing group does not accept novice writers without a manuscript.

If you have a completed manuscript, looking for other writers to read your writing in order to get honest suggestions, the Southwest Valley Writing Group is for you!

In 2008, the group will explore the path to eBooks...

The Southwest Valley Writing Group continues in its 6th year!
