I'm making a writing filter where I hope to get feedback and critiques to help my publication goals. I write fiction (leaning towards Scifi/fantasy mostly, but not always) and nonfiction articles (mostly birth, parenting, energy, spiritual, etc.). Would you like to be on it?

View Answers

Yes, I am a writer and will happily give critiques.

20(51.3%)

Yes, but I'm no writer. I can beta-read and tell you how the piece makes me feel, where it is lacking clarity, what parts interested me, and which did not, though.

19(48.7%)

If you did this and want to be on my filter, but for some reason aren't on my f-list, add me first and I'll put you on the filter.

View Answers

Ok, me!

16(94.1%)

I've friended you, but you haven't friended me back yet and I'd like you to. (Notice: My f-list is so whopping that I only add people who introduce themselves and request an add)

I used to write fiction; one YA novel that I never quite finished and several short stories, but I've pretty much abandoned it. Don't write poetry much anymore, either, but that's life.

I'd like to be on the filter, but with the caveat that I generally don't have time and will probably only be able to comment substantively very occasionally.

I'm kind of figuring that will be mostly the case. I'll take what I can get. :)

Don't know how much help I'll be, but if willingness counts for anything.

It sure does! Actually, insight like "I liked this part", "I didn't like this part", and "I didn't understand this part" works much better from non-writer friends. They're probably the biggest percentage of my market, anyway. ;)

You know I'm all about critiques! ^_^ If I can squeeze it in between school, work, my own writing and sleep... then heck, I could give you a reasonably thorough evaluation of my point of view. ^_~

Thank you! Whenever you can - by all means, take care of priorities. I'm going to have to squeeze in making the damn filter...LOL

If I thought I'd have the time to actually give good critiques, I would, but I don't think I do.. If you want to put me on the filter I'd be happy to give feedback when I could though! : )

Thanks! I'll go ahead and put you on then, but don't feel you need to do anything if you're swamped or if nothing calls to you. I appreciate the offer!
