I like to give back to other writers. I love helping when I can, since I've gotten so much help from the writing community myself. I often wish I could help more. This week I want to try a little writing/editing workshop, and I hope you'll be interested in participating.
I think seeing the process and evolution of a piece can be extremely educational, so this week I'd like to invite a few participants to have their work publicly critiqued on my blog.
If you are willing, please submit the first 500 words of your WIP to natalie(at)nataliewhipple(dot)com. I will take the first three submissions, and on Friday I will post my own for you guys to gut. It's only fair, right?
For those whose pieces are chosen, I will inform you today when your piece will be going up. That way you can be prepared:) I will gladly post new versions as we work through your piece as well as comment on those.
I'm excited—I hope you are!
Soo cool! Thanks so much for giving us this opportunity! I'm sending in my 500 words!
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope this isn't just for YA books...sending now! :)
ReplyDeleteSent my first 462 words (as it has a more natural conclusion than the 5oo mark). Thank you so much for this chance, even if I'm not one of the first three, I really think this is a great thing you're doing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie! Sent!
