If you write horror, science fiction, or fantasy, I have a critique group for you!
I’ve been a member off and on for about a year, and I think they’re absolutely terrific. I’ve tried other writing groups, and many are more socializing and little critiquing. That’s fine, if that’s what you’re looking for, but critters is a serious critique group.
Here are the rules in a nutshell. You do one crit a week (actually about 75% of that) and you get the opportunity to submit your own work into the queue. It will take about 4-5 weeks for your work to come out for review, and when it does, you can expect to get as many as 15 or 20 critiques. Not bad, huh?
If you’re writing a novel, you can also ask for RFDR (request for dedicated readers). These are readers who’ll review the novel without your having to put it through the queue in pieces (which would take quite some time).
The critiques I’ve gotten from other critters have been terrific. Did I mention many of the writers in the group are published? Even professionals? Believe me, you can’t go wrong here.
