Feminist Writers Workshop (FemWrite)
http://www.geocities.com/~lkraus/workshop/page17.html

The Feminist Writers Workshop, or FemWrite, is a moderated list for the submission and critique of feminist literature. The primary goal of the workshop is to assist its members in making their work publishable. FemWrite is open to any type of literary work that explores or includes nontraditional gender roles. Submissions can be short fiction, novel chapters, essays, poetry, nonfiction articles, etc. FemWrite is also a forum to discuss marketing our work, to share moral support, and to discuss social theories and observations as they apply to our writing.

Wolf Runners
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wolfrunners/ [previously http://www.wolfrunners.com]

"WolfRunners is an online community for women writers and artists working in the genres of science fiction and fantasy. The goal of WolfRunners is to encourage members to form lasting ties, both professional and personal, to aid in the conceptualization, composition, and marketing of their work. Works-in-progress may be offered for critique, new markets and submission tips shared, and ideas bounced off the only people who can truly understand the life and mind of the writer: other writers in that genre."
