Critique Group Contest

Writer Lynnette Labelle over at Chitterbox Chit Chat is hosting a writing contest for romance authors who are seeking a critique group.

The prize is membership in their online critique group, and three writers will be chosen based on the writing sample and a questionnaire that ensures compatibility with the group members.

You must commit to critique at least one chapter per week if you join. Tomorrow is the last day to submit entries, so check it out.

From Saturday Writers member Claudia:

FORMING CRITIQUE GROUP FOR ROMANCE/WOMEN'S FICTION or ESSAYS (Novels, Essays or Short Stories)

Any writers--novel, essay, short story--interested in the new critique group I am forming for the Romance/Women's genre, please send me an e-mail at cswriting@yahoo.com as soon as possible.

Just because you say you are interested doesn't mean you have to join once the details are worked out. Early November I will send out a survey to those interested to narrow down time, day, location, etc. The holidays are fast approaching which means a busy time of the year for everyone, so my plan is to have this organized and ready to start in January 2009. 

If you know of other writers not in Saturday Writers who are interested in joining, please let them know. No matter the stage of our writing, a good critique group can be of immeasurable help in editing/grammar/punctuation, information on workshops-publishing-conferences and motivation. Hope to hear from you soon and no matter what--Keep Writing!
