The Wild Rose Press has great loops for new writers to find critique partners. I found one of mine there. Through RWA (Romance Writer's of America) PRO loop I found a freelance editor to do a profession copy edit. PRO is easy to join (all you need is a few rejection letters and a completed manuscript). And the loop is excellent. When I entered GH I asked to have that manuscript used to qualify me for PRO and I mailed the rejection letters separately. Another great idea is investigating Brenda Novak's online auction early each May. Dozens and dozens of authors, editors, and agents offer critiques for bid. It's how I got my agent!!!

They have a register of writers looking for crit partners with lists of strenghts and areas for improvement, as well as preferred genres and writing sample. I've found the register very helpful - helped me identify possible matches very quickly. and then it was 'trial and error'.Kate Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03195669152468413093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053790249411858435.post-62005069721696986092010-12-18T07:47:43.717+13:002010-12-18T07:47:43.717+13:00Well done, Raleigh.
