How to run a Writers' Group
It's up to you whether or not to charge a monthly or annual fee for membership in your writers' group. If it's just a small group and you have no overhead expenses, you may decide not to charge anything at all. However, if you pay guest speakers, rent a meeting place or have other club expenses, then a membership fee would be appropriate.
Multiple or simultaneous submissions
Multiple submissions should not be confused with simultaneous submissions. "Multiple" means submitting more than one manuscript to the same publisher or publication. "Simultaneous" means submitting the same manuscript to more than one publisher or publication.
