Are you getting rejection slips and you don't know why? You need a writers' critique group. A writers' critique group multiplies the success of beginning, intermediate, and expert writers by providing them the non-judgmental support system they need to grow and hone their craft. Writers in a critique group share their knowledge to help each other refine the subleties of plot, characterization, and dialogue, cut dead wood, and punch up slow beginnings, sagging middles, and weak endings. They help cut dead wood, refine nonfiction book structure, and improve article leads and closes. The interaction of talented minds is sure to jumpstart imaginations, to everyone s benefit.
