Why not ask at the library if there is a writers' circle in your area and pay her dues there. Speak to one of the committee to ensure that she doesn't have to read up her own stuff until she feels secure.
When I was a member of the Stockport Writers' Circle about a hundred years ago, several members present at a meeting would read an article or a short excerpt from their latest production, and it was an unwritten law that one didn't sit and lurk too many weeks in a row. Helped with the production level, too. Many were amateur newspaper correspondents for the local rag, others were working on full-length novels, yet others did work for the radio, plays or short stories or articles of interest.
