Maybe you’ve decided that you really need to get some feedback on your writing. Or maybe you’re getting feedback but it doesn’t seem to be helping and you’re looking for something better. Or maybe you actually want to help other writers get better but don’t have a forum from which to do it.
In any of these cases, Finding the Write Fit is the resource you’re looking for. In this book, you’ll find chapters on:
• How to evaluate your own needs, goals, strengths, and weaknesses as a writer
• Where to find critique groups that meet in person, virtually via apps like Zoom or Microsoft Teams, or perhaps both, and how to evaluate the ones you find
• Where to find critique groups and alpha- and beta-reader matching groups on social media, and how to evaluate them
• The websites that let members submit and critique each others’ work, either as a primary or secondary function, and how they work
• The classes and courses offered by both degree-granting universities and less formal programs, what they offer, and their strengths and weaknesses
• Whether and how to use artificial intelligence tools and applications for editing and critique
• Even how to form your own in-person critique group
Taken together, these chapters and the questionnaires and guides that support many of them will help you find the critique partnership that will work best for you: the write fit.
