Anyone interested in forming a 'Critic Group'?
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

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