"Everyone's a critic," or so they say. But in the era of self-publishing, it turns out everyone's a writer instead. And given the state of some self-pub texts, maybe a little prior healthy criticism would have helped. Where can writers go to build each other's skills? How can a reader provide solid advice and constructive feedback? What should one look for--and not worry about--when critiquing another's writing? Based on David's experience in a healthy and helpful critique group, this A-to-Z handbook reminds writers of pitfalls to avoid and guides 'critters' new and old through the critique process. Three bonus chapters cover how to organize an ideal writing exchange or improve an existing critique group.
