A little buzz about Critique Groups... I gotta say, I love mine! I am fortunate to have a group of 5, all writing in the same genre (YA/Middle Grade)and all giving/taking in the most mutally satisfying way. There are always those moments when my nails are down to the nub, but for the most part, I take their advice as loving gifts aimed at lifting my manuscript to its full potential.
Becky Levine is the author of "The Writing and Critique Group Survival Guide", and she is hosting a contest on her blog for a free copy of her book and, oh boy, chocolate! All you have to do is post a "comment" by July 21st, and you're in... Go to Becky Levine's Blog Contest
You did see the article on our critique group, didn't you? Page 4 http://www.scbwi.org/Resources/Documents/AcornJune2010_V3.pdf
ReplyDeleteI met Becky at the East of Eden from a few years ago; her critique was one of the few useful contacts I made there.
Hey, Christina, thanks for blogging about the contest!
