Virtual Critique Group

Critiques when you need them!

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 Allison, exchanging sounds great, lets talk in private and work out details of how we want to do this.

Hi all, I just joined and I'm looking for a critique partner(s) for mainstream or literary fiction, short stories and a novel.  I taught writing courses at local community colleges and have done quite a bit of professional writing over the years, so I'm looking for someone with similar experience and interest to exchange with.

Hi Everyone!  I just joined the group and wanted to post what I am willing to read and provide feedback on.  I love a variety of genre's however my favorites are fantasy and horror.  I do like a good mystery, thriller or romance once in a while too.  I am working on my first novel and am looking for critique and constructive feedback as I go, my book is Fantasy, but has adventure, romance, mystery and a little thriller thrown in for good measure.  I hope to connect with many of you and can't wait to see your writing!

Just finished the first 10 week class in the Stanford Creative Writing program. Huge amount of effort, but well worth it. Feedback from 14 other people at about the same level of writing plus the professor. With that many points of view looking at your work, you get a good sense of what does/doesn't work.

The most informative book we used was The Lie That Tells a Truth by John Dufresne. We read a broad range of short stories and one novel, If You Follow Me by Malena Watrous.

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!
