ALM: My Critique Partners

ALM

Critique partners are super important people writers need in their lives. I’m lucky to have several, whom I also count as friends.

[1, 2, & 3]

Shoshana, Emily, and Jimmy were the first to read Ten Commandments for Kissing Gloria Jean. And the first to like her. My Simmons classmates, they are some of the kindest, sharpest, generous critiquers I know. Thanks, guys!

Nicole is a fellow Catholic author. Her picture book critique group helped me stay actively writing.

Carol is another fellow picture book author, who gives excellent feedback. I was so thrilled to help her get her first book published by passing it along to my editors.

Rebecca hasn’t yet read my writing, but she will! A YA writer like me, she has a great sense of voice and structure.

Carter is an editor, who read my book, deemed it funny, and I could not be more proud. I got a great critique from a real, traditional children’s book editor!

Want a copy of my book? Save this link for my upcoming giveaway! In honor of my March birthday, I’m giving you the presents–five signed copies of Ten Commandments of Kissing Gloria Jean–and the only thank you I need is a review!
