Working with Writers

“Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.”  Winston Churchill

In any writers room, you are expected to work well with others, give feedback, and receive notes on your own work. In any writing workshop or writers group, you must be collegial, provide effective analysis, and be able to use the critiques of others to improve your work. This eBook discusses ways to offer comments that are both useful and valuable, and how to apply the notes that others give you to your own work.

This is the perfect companion eBook to How to Evaluate Stories. This eBook helps to identify what’s wrong, what’s missing, and what’s misplaced in a story. Working with Writers details how to convey a critique most effectively or how to listen to a critique and incorporate comments efficiently. Both these eBooks are crucial to working collaboratively.
