I know lots of people are busy with A-Z right now, but I thought I'd like to host a critique fest. I've done it before, but it's been a while. If you are interested in having something peer critiqued, email me: Title, Genre, and your first 100 words (don't end in the middle of a sentence). I'll post all of them on Thursday so the critiquing can begin. I ask that you submit no more than 2 pieces to be critiqued. If you submit a piece I hope that you will critique at least five pieces.
So...Are you in?
Very cool...I look forward to reading your posts but cannot participate until summer when I have time to write.
ReplyDeleteHappy A-Z April!
Hey Sharon,
ReplyDeleteOops, four in the morning in lil' ol' England and I'm leaving a comment. I shall go and get some sleep after this :)
Ah yes, that A to Z Challenge. Did you know that Lee who started the whole darn thing has declared that I'm and I quote, "You have been appointed as the official anti-A to Z spokesman." Who would of thought that eh :)
I shall have to give it a pass on your peer critique. Wouldn't be fair on the rest of them if I got involved. Note how humble I am.
Take care Sharon and happy writing.
Hugs, Gary
Since I'm new to this...are we to submit a piece already written (i.e.) blog post or something new and unseen by human eye previously? Smiles - Astrid

Sounds great though I don't have anything to critique right now. And I'm not doing A-Z either.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon. If I wasn't participating in the A to Z Challenge, I'd participate in your critique fest. I'll stop by to read your posts and anything that anyone chooses to share. It sounds like a wonderful opportunity for everyone who participates.
ReplyDeleteHope you and your family had a wonderful Easter.
Hi Sharon .. I'm on ... for the beach - can I go there please .. I'll be happy to stay a while to help you critique?!
ReplyDeleteSadly I'm not writing WIPs but I am A - Z ing .. I'll be interested to see your Thursday post though .. cheers Hilary
That sounds fun! I'll have to gather up the courage and send ya something.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Sharon! I'll have to see if I think my current wip is ready for public exposure. :)
ReplyDeleteY'all are gonna have some fun!
ReplyDeletehi! i dont have a wip thats ready to get critiqued right now. its a cool idea and for sure could be a help to writers.
ReplyDelete...hugs from lenny
I'm doing AtoZ too - and still thinking I'm crazy... :)
ReplyDeleteI don't really have anything suitable for the public eye right now . . . but I'll be back to read the entries! A critique fest is a great idea. :)
ReplyDeleteI was beginning to feel like I'm the only one not participating in the A-Z challenge. I was getting lonely. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
I'm not A-Zing! I'm up for a critique! Sign me up, Sharon!! Sounds fun and scary all at once. (This doesn't have to be a finished manuscript, does it?)

ReplyDelete'm not in, but I'd love to check out the lines. I have my first lines being looked over at a conference in less than 2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteCritique sessions are always helpful. But I think my current project has been critiqued out the wazoo, so I'm passing on this one. I'll come back though and see what others out there are writing. I always find that interesting!
ReplyDeleteGood luck everyone!
aw, I don't think I'm going to be able to stick my head up until June at least! It's been a busy year for me...yikes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering to critique, Sharon. I'll post around among my aspiring writers!
ReplyDeleteI'm in. I've got something ready and I am so needing to push myself forward and this sounds perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks! ~MaDonna
Oh, Sharon, this sounds fantastic. I wish I could participate but I'm travelling this week. That's why I'm a little behind with my blogging. :( Not to mention I caught a bad cold.
ReplyDeletePerhpas next time :D
Okey dokey! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not in--I'm busy A-Z'ing--but I look forward to the post. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not doing the A-Z, cuz I'm busy (ditto for the critiques) but what a GREAT idea to have a critique fest! Have fun. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, Sharon! I've got nothing ready at the moment, sadly.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea - did you post it on Verla Kay's board? I'll bet some of the writers over there would be interested in participating.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Very kind of you to set this up!
