Virtual Critique Group

Critiques when you need them!

Location: #Workshop
Members: 266
Latest Activity: May 6

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!

Syeda,

I added comments to the page where you have your chapters posted. Your novel looks as if it's going to be a good read. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Hello Ladies. Anyone here have a moment (or a few, actually) to spare? I am looking some feedback on the 10th chapter of my YA Silent Voices. It is written from a omniscient third-person narrative, focusing on one or two of the for MCs feelings (or silenced voices) in each chapter 

Silent Voices: Meet and Greet

I am slightly worried about the pace of things in my writing...the story takes place between September to March ( around 6 months), but I seem to be bogged down in specific scenes so far. Although I do have a few leaps in the middle, but it still seems to have taken a sluggish pace. Any advice?

Hi all. I read and write romance, both supernatural and modern. All are short stories under 50 pages. Most are under 30 pages. Adults only to read for me.

I am willing to read anything except horror. Nothing to scary pleas.

Hi there! My name is Harleen and I'm new to She Writes so forgive me if I botch this up... I'm working on my first fiction young adult/fantasy novel. And I'd appreciate an feedback you might have.

I also would love to help critique and give feedback! I'm not really great at copy-editing but I can definitely give more generalized editorial comments! I like to read fantasy and young adult novels mostly, but I'm open to others as well.

Here's to destroying the blinking cursor of death! 

Cheers!

Has anybody seen Cece Box's new webpage? She is a member of this group, did lots of critiquing when we first were on. This is the website: 

http://cecebox.com/hanis-story/

and here's her lovely lure line:

Hani’s Story

 
 
 
It’s a literary adventure story…
It’s an experiment in multimedia storytelling…
It’s feminist chick-lit…
It’s a mystery suspense action thriller romance…
It’s a Love story – with a capital L.
Shakespearean themes
Jungian Archetypes
Cliff-hanging episodes!
It’s (oh no!) sci-fi-fan-fic…
One woman’s very down-to-Earth spiritual quest
across time and space…
Hani’s Story
coming soon to a website near you…
I have read an earlier draft of it, as has my local critique group, and I think it's wonderful. Take some time, enjoy the read, and be surprised as the depth of what you learn by the end. I never expected it to be profound.

Hi Elizabeth,

Thanks,

Hello - I have a non-fiction essay that an editor has already read once and returned to me asking for some specific changes. I'd love to have someone take a look and see if I have fulfilled the editor's requests! It's about 1100 words. It's also a somewhat short deadline, I'd love to have it back to the editor by the end of this week.
