\"2349632625_4eba371b56_z\"<\/a>In this post, part 2 on 3 Essential Editing Tips<\/strong> I talk about getting feedback.\u00a0You can read Part 1 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Getting Feedback<\/h2>\n

When I finish a story, I don’t know if it’s any good. I’m too close to it. Do you have that experience?<\/p>\n

I could let it sit in a drawer for a month or a year, so that I can get my emotional and psychological distance, but I don’t have that kind of patience for many of my stories. (Though some I sit on for a long time.)<\/p>\n

To move the writing process forward, I get feedback on my stories.<\/p>\n

Where to Find Critique Partners<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many people ask me where to find critique partners. I’ve found mine in my local Romance Writer’s of America chapter.<\/p>\n

I recommend you meet people in your local genre writing organizations and see if you can exchange manuscripts with them.<\/p>\n

Some people find critique partners online. Communities like SavvyAuthors.com<\/a> offer ways to find like-minded writers.<\/p>\n

Facebook groups are a resource too. A friend of mine found one of her critique partners at the Science Fiction Romance Brigade<\/a> group on Facebook.<\/p>\n

\n

The key is to ask for what you want. (In getting writing support as in life!)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Once you’ve found a supportive critique partner, ask for the kind of feedback you’d like, and not like.<\/p>\n

What to Ask Them<\/h2>\n

When I’m handing off a first draft that’s been cleaned up for grammar as best I can, I ask these questions:<\/p>\n

\n

Hi [Awesome critique partner];<\/p>\n

Thanks for your help on my [title\/working title] xxx length book.<\/p>\n

Please let me know your thoughts on: — character arc — plot — strength\/weaknesses as a romance<\/p>\n

And anything else that confused you. And the things you liked!<\/p>\n

No need to point out typos, unless they really bugged you. \ud83d\ude09 Thanks, Your bestest buddy, Sincerely, Awesome Author<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Feel free to use this as a template for your first request. (Be sure to take out the generic stuff and the silly stuff, if you want.)<\/p>\n

Next Steps<\/h2>\n

I usually wait a day or two before inputting the changes pointed out by my critique partner. I take her feedback with a grain of salt. I’m the final decider after all. (You’re the decider!)<\/p>\n

My attitude:<\/strong> I keep my overall story goal in mind and the overall impact I want my story to have on the reader.<\/p>\n

For example, for my romance, I want them to be a fun and light read that touches the heart. For my fantasy, I want to create a page-turning adventure of transformation. In both cases, I want my characters to be compelling and for my readers to feel as if they are my point of view characters.<\/p>\n

My actions:<\/strong> I work on the story in a few sessions, taking the story section by section, starting from the beginning and moving through to the end.<\/p>\n

After I’ve worked on the edits as best as I can, I get final feedback from advanced readers. I’ll go into this next week.<\/p>\n

What questions do you have about editing?<\/p>\n

Please comment and let me know your thoughts. I’m always interested in hearing from you!<\/p>\n

All my best,<\/p>\n

\u2665<\/p>\n

Beth<\/p>\n
