It'll at all times be stimulating to read content material from other writers and follow a little bit something from their store. I’d want to make use of some with the content on my blog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a hyperlink on your net blog.

I need a beta for some short stories ready to go out, and a critique partner for my WiP. Would love to do a novel exchange!<br />Some info about me: I read a lot of genres, so would love to have a CP who writes in a different genre. Am also an avid blogger, and would love to exchange comments on blogs :)Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519691494230856599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-76955791211350843962011-07-03T07:17:50.836-04:002011-07-03T07:17:50.836-04:00I'll throw in a new genre.

Maybe I won't find a person to critique, since you guys are mostly YA writers/readers, but what the hey ;)<br /><br />Name: Erica Pike<br /><br />Email: eripike@gmail.com<br /><br />My current WIP: Gay romance (contains erotica, so language and images is not for the light-hearted) about Adam who falls in love with his adorable and hot roommate Jesse. Sparks fly between the two and Jesse has to decide if he wants to do what is expected of him and marry a girl after college or have a future with Adam. <br /><br />I call my books "Gay flicks" as in "Chick flicks" because of the lightness and language I use. My stories always have a happy ending even if there's some drama in the middle and nearing the end (it's gay lit for goodness sake! There has to be some drama).<br /><br />I'm looking for: A critique partner would be fantastic - one who writes gay literature since I'm most invested in that category at the moment. Beta reader would also be great (if you don't write gay lit).<br /><br />Info about me: Not much to say. I'm female who's been writing gay lit for a few months, but YA for a few years. I'm yet unpublished, but things are looking great with my gay lit since I already have several contacts among publishers and established authors.Erica Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01410036734790965799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-66388098538816917002011-06-17T09:19:25.789-04:002011-06-17T09:19:25.789-04:00Daniel Audet

The story is changing so much right now that it's hard to pin it down, but I can give you this. Raithe is a Fallen Angel who stumbles upon a conspiracy by demons to overtake heaven. He enlists the help of a few gifted humans and his former love (an angel) to stop the attack.<br /><br />I'm looking for: I'm looking for a crit partner for a long term relationship (this sounds like a singles ad). Seeking someone who likes red ink and can spot a dangling participle a mile away. Really, I just want someone to be honest with me, tell me what works and what doesn't. I welcome help with all aspects of my writing. I do not have work ready to be critiqued yet.<br /><br />Some Info about Me: I'm revising my first novel (but it's not ready to be read yet). I'd love to start reading and critiqueing others work though. I will admit I'm also a virgin crit partner, but I'm not a shrinking violet. If it's bad I want to hear about it and I'll try to be fair and honest in my critiques as well. Would love to develop a great working relationship.KM Nallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714392426676743868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-3793994786653843242011-06-11T16:45:57.804-04:002011-06-11T16:45:57.804-04:00Name: Nancy S.

Thompson<br /><br />Email: acadia1997@msn.com<br /><br />My current WIP: THE MISTAKEN, an adult thriller (90,000 words - contains violence and graphic sexual situations)<br /><br />The story of Skylar Karras, a man who, after devastating personal tragedy, loses his moral compass to vengeance and alcoholism. In a drunken haze, he misidentifies the wrong woman and object of his revenge during an unspeakable act of violence. With his eyes made clear by the stark reality of his mistake, Sky battles the forces he has unleashed in order to protect and restore her life while somehow finding redemption for his own.<br />(Complete synopsis available)<br /><br />I'm looking for: either a beta or crit partner. In the past, I've traded chapters with partners via email. We would critique on content, structure, style and grammar all the way down to line editing, but general feedback is welcome, as well. It would be nice to have someone to work with now, but I'm always looking for those I can have a long-term partnership with, though that is not necessary.<br /><br />About me: I am a new writer, but proficient. I've worked with 7 partners and have whipped my ms into pretty good shape. I've been busy reading all the blogs and books on honing my craft and feel reasonably well about my progress, but I know my writing can and will only get better with the use of writing partners.Nancy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-12022624749272888302011-06-09T19:29:51.302-04:002011-06-09T19:29:51.302-04:00Name: Akoss

However, she was given little to no choice.<br />A few days after Fredeline and her family moved into their new home, an earthquake hit the island, shortly followed by a Tsunami. It all happens while she is enjoying herself at a birthday party and the rest of her family is on a trip to the capital city.<br />Fredeline survives both natural disasters and set off to the capital city to find the whereabouts of her family. She plans to get there as quick as possible – no matter what –but it is without running into a mysterious pyromaniac boy, and a handsome killer with no memory of his past.<br />The first thing Fredeline wants is for her family to be safe and sound, the last thing she wants is to be delayed, but her heart and conscience will have none of the later.<br /><br />I'm looking for: a Critique Partner. General feedback to line edit and picky critiquing is welcome as long as it comes with honesty and a dash of though love. I’m looking for someone open minded about multiculturalism and also who reads and write MG.<br /><br />Some info about me: I recommend to check my blog and then decide if I could be the one you’re looking for. I want to grow as a writer and hopefully make a friend along the way.<br /><br />Thank you for reading. :)Akosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13496491705617311571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-48284935566407638322011-06-09T13:57:28.377-04:002011-06-09T13:57:28.377-04:00Oops.

I'd love to find other writers who are interested in trading critiques. I'm not looking for free editing work here, I just need feedback on the strong and weak points of my stories, such as continuity problems, confusing passages, or glaringly unanswered questions. A long-term partnership would be great, but hey, I understand that life happens.<br /><br />Some info about me: I'm a structure junkie, and I'm sure I'd work best with someone who is like-minded, or perhaps a pantser who *wants* help with structure. I'm also very new at fiction writing. I just started this year, although I've been writing non-fiction (including co-authoring 3 self-published books) for many years. My technical skills are solid, but I'm at the beginning of my journey to learn about the craft of writing fiction.<br /><br />You can learn more about me and my WIP from my blog: www.DanielRMarvello.com.Daniel R.

Just a second set of eyes, really. <br />I have a lot of unfinished works, and it takes me a long time to finish anything, so if you're not able to be a beta/CP now and would like to in a few months, I would be cool with that. <br /><br />I write in a lot of different genres, mostly because I like to try new things. I have a fulltime day job that keeps me occupied a lot, so when I write is usually on my days off. I also tend to be travelling a lot (<3 road trips), hence why I'm slow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-67291280484889226862011-06-06T21:28:11.883-04:002011-06-06T21:28:11.883-04:00Wonderful idea, Rach.
