I’m a writer who belongs to a critique group of six other writers. We meet every week to comment on each other’s works in progress.

We catch typos, point out misused words, shorten paragraphs, eliminate overused words, point out clichés, find plot holes, make useful suggestions (and sometimes regrettable suggestions), and sometimes brainstorm.

We are each other’s line editors, copy editors, proofreaders, and development editors. For no charge, except our time.

I’d like to introduce you to our group. One by one.

Maybe next week.

WHAT I READ THIS WEEK:  Fat Cat Art by Sveltlana Petrova. Breaking News by G.G. Vandagriff. Second Hand Heart by Catherine Ryan Hyde.
