I don't even know what such a thing would look like though. When I write professionally I end up begging other librarians to read for the librarian part (would other librarians be interested?) but have no idea who to ask to critique the writing part (have I written this in a thoughtful, coherent fashion?). But, I also find non-fiction really interesting to read in general (I just finished Punching In by Alex Fankel for example). I would love a non-fiction professional writing critique group.

Lamda seems to be talking about novels only, and have nothing useful to say on the more general topic of workshopping, or the related topic of workshops for non-fiction. Perhaps she's just too focused for the discussion you want to have? Avi PS, will send your script, sorry for taking so long I’m not entirely sure you’re comparing apples to apples here.
