Writer's Window Pane

If you have a novel in progress, a short story tucked in a drawer, or one page you keep rewriting, the Writer's Window Pane is worth a look. It is a weekly cold-critique workshop at the Indian River County Main Library in Vero Beach.

Cold critique means you bring your writing with you and get constructive feedback right there in the room. Nothing has to be sent ahead of time. Everyone who shares hears from the group on the spot, so you head home with fresh ideas for your next draft.

The group focuses on novels and short stories, but the library's listing says other kinds of writing are welcome too. That makes it a good fit for new writers who want honest, friendly feedback, and for more experienced writers who want another set of eyes on a chapter.

Because it meets every week, you can drop in whenever you have new pages and keep coming back as your project grows. It is also a nice way to meet other people around Vero Beach who love to write.

When: Fridays, 10 AM to 12 PM, starting November 6, 2026. Where: the History Room at the Indian River County Main Library, 1600 21st Street, Vero Beach, FL 32960. This is a weekly series on the Indian River County Library System calendar, so check the library calendar for any schedule changes before you go.
