Virtual Critique Group

Critiques when you need them!

Location: #Workshop

Latest Activity: Jan 24

I've never had much success with writing groups. Too many people, not enough time to do a proper job of it, too many broad subject ranges, HAVING to present something to the group, ready or not. Just never really worked for me.
But what if we had a place where we could request critiques as we need them and volunteer to critique for others as they need?

Please introduce yourself and tell us what areas you're interested in critiquing, and when you need something read, look through the group and see who's interested in your subject matter!

I know we're all busy, but if we all make a little time here and there to help each other, we'll all benefit from it. If you have other friends in She Writes who would be interested in participating, please invite them to join!

Hi Cailin,

Ask them why it's their new fave...haha!

Hey everyone! I've never been in Critique group before, but it sounds useful. I recently wrote a YA novel and so far the only people that have read it are my friends. While I appreciate their enthusiastic comments of, "This is my new favorite book!" I know they're hopelessly bias. Hoping to utilize this group soon to get some outside feedback! Talk to you all soon!

Hi Suanne,

I love Lorrie Moore.  She's one of my FAVES.  If you ever want to share stories, let me know!  Good luck with Stanford.  It's a beautiful University.  I miss my home place!  :)

I was accepted into the Stanford University creative writing program. Now at nearly 60, I am doing homework. Scary thought! I checked in on the chat room (this is all on-line as we 15 students are scattered around the world). No one there. I left a little "Hi from Texas" greeting. Checked in again on 1/9, the official first day of class. All those other folks had already turned in their personal writing and their responses to the readings. So I looked like a slacker on day #1. I spent half the night 1/9 getting caught up -- on the first day of class. This morning at 1 AM I posted next week's work. 

I'll try to share some of our assigned readings with you guys. The most hysterical was Lorrie Moore's "How to Become a Writer" in her collection of short stories entitled Self-Help.   http://www.amazon.com/Self-Help-Lorrie-Moore/dp/0307277291/ref=sr_1...

Hi, everyone. I'm a new member of this group and like you, I'm looking for a critique partner. I write fantasy (mostly). Does anyone here write fantasy or sci-fi? We can read each other's short stories or the beginning of a novel and share thoughts. About me: I'm at the start of my writing career, published a few short stories and recently got a publisher for my novel. It will probably come out by the end of this year or the start of 2013.

Hi everyone! I am writing a romance novel and would love to find someone to exchange chapters with as I go along.

I am excited to being here.  I just finished my Regency romance mystery.  I am looking for someone to critique so if you are interested please let me know.  Looking forward to hearing from you...I can read yours too, if you like.

Hi ladies. If you're anything like me you're rewriting is as long as if not longer than the actual writing process. It can also be more confusing than the riddle of the Sphinx. LitReactor, a site associated with Chuck Palahniuk, has a fantastic article on rewriting. It's actually inspired me to rethink an essay I was going to shelf. May it also inspire you!  http://litreactor.com/columns/the-art-of-the-rewrite

Love

LOVE has been on my mind the past few days. Maybe because it's valentines day... maybe not. I just want you guys to know what love means. Real love, not the fake marketing kind. So, I've spent the last  few days trying to define love for you, not…See More

Sarah Harris commented on the blog post 'I could only write my memoir…After my mother had died'
Cris, I started writing when I finally believed in myself enough and allowed my voice to emerge and trust the process. The piece I'm working on is a one-woman show about mental illness and it was bubbling under the surface for years. It was…
