ART OF THE CRITIQUE

"Crit" does not mean criticism. It means critique, and the two words do NOT mean the same thing.

How can a critique help you sell your work? Just ask Jeanne Stein. She got into an excellent critique group. Within a year, three of the six members had agents and publishing contracts. (All three have been guests here.)

Even if you can't find a group that awesome, learning how to do a proper critique will help you edit your own work.

We all know that an excellent story, polished to a high gloss, is the way to get published. Join us for our first theme chat in months, and learn how to turn your rough stone into a polished gem.
