Anyone interested in forming a 'Critic Group'?

Published by: kd on 13th Feb 2010 | View all blogs by kd
I've seen this done on other writer's forums and I thought it might be a good idea.

I'm looking for three or four individuals who might be interested in forming a 'critic group'.  I'd ideally like to find those whose genres I have a taste for:

contemporary fiction/ women's lit/ historical/ romance/ humor-comedy/ mystery/ paranormal/ thriller/ YA

And those that might have a taste for mine which is mainly a historical YA/paranormal manuscript for the time being.

The idea would be to critic pieces either set up on one another's blogs or if you prefer- correspond by email and send entire chapters or documents for critic.  We would each be looking for things like: deadwood or clumpiness, structure, description, wordiness, repetitiveness and plot indescrepencies.  

It always helps to have a fresh pair of eyes as we revise and I think this might be more useful for those that are working on or have finished their first manuscript and need help pulling it together and tightening it up.

Please sent me a private message if anyone's interested!

Thanks!
Katie

    Hi Katie, I'm okay with that count me in. Mind you I do a great deal of writing and could be quite critical of poor work.

    'Ello Katie, I'd like to apply(!), although I suspect I may be rejected on the grounds of genre incompatibilities. My writing and tastes are limited to non-fiction travel, philosophy, politics, article writing and fiction humour, (plus comedy sketch writing).

    I will not be in the least bit offended if you tell me to bugger off,
    Steve.
