Open genre feedback group – every other Thursday
The Platypuses are a publically open group run through our MeetUp page. We generally deal with fiction though we’ve had the odd memoirist drop in and out. We are genre-agnostic and have a couple of people writing realist fiction, but the majority of our authors at the moment are focussing on fantasy, sci-fi and horror. Many of our members are working on novels so we’ve got a strong contingent of regulars. You’re always welcome to join the waitlist or reach out to the host Emil via MeetUp if you’re curious to know more.
