The Writer’s Little Book of Critique

Tips and Tricks for Giving and Receiving Feedback

Critiquing the work of others is one of the most powerful ways for a writer to build their skills. But what separates good critique from bad? What should you look for and comment on, and how can you present your criticism in a constructive (rather than destructive) fashion? How can you get the most value out of receiving feedback from others? Drawing on her experience in teaching creative writing, award-winning author Marie Brennan breaks down both the technical and social sides of critique, to help you help others build a better story.
