If you’re looking for practice in editing and critiquing people’s work do I have a good website for you! I discovered Critique Circle a few years, and not only did I get some great advice on my own writing, I polished up on my analytical skills and my editing skills. Even if you’re more interested in writing your own work, having a go and critiquing other people’s work helps develop your skills as a writer.
You can also have other people critique your work, which can be very useful if you struggle to find objective, unbiased opinions. Everyone is very constructive in their criticism. You’ll also get people critiquing your work who specialise in different areas. For instance, one may point out all the grammatical and spelling errors within your story, another may identify lack of themes and character development, while a third will help with sentence structure.
I highly recommend Critique Circle for readers, writers and editors alike. It certainly helped me and I plan to revisit it soon. For now, though, my novel calls to me. Have an excellent time zone, wherever you are!

This is a very interesting site designed for people to both have their work critiqued, as well as to critique the writing of others. There are two levels of membership and worth the cost of a Starbucks coffee to join.

Thanks for sharing the post 🙂 It is very useful for those who can’t find writer’s groups in their area, or find it easier to communicate over the internet than face to face.

Thanks for this rec! Will totally check it out, but probably won’t visit it until I *think* I have a final draft, lol. Then they can proceed to show me oh-how-wrong I am 😛 For now, it’s still too much a mess to let other people see.
