A Conversation Between Critique Partners... And A Giveaway!

[box type="note"]Sarah here! Today Sooz and I discuss how to find critique partners in our Conversation Between Critique Partners series![/box] Sooz and Sarah at Dragon*Con 2012 Two of the questions we get asked fairly often by Pub Crawl readers are: 1) How did we find our critique partners? And 2) What does critiquing actually entail? Though it’s no secret that we (Sarah and Sooz) are critique partners, we don’t usually go behind the scenes that much. (Quick answer to question #1: We found each other because we were already friends via Let The Words Flow (now Pub Crawl!), and decided to swap manuscripts. We both LOVED each other's work so much we just kept on sharing our stuff!) So, in honor of the query critique that we’re giving away today (DETAILS BELOW!), we thought we’d talk a little bit about what the process is like when we critique each other’s work. We also thought it’d be a little more fun to do it in an interview/conversational format, minus our usual potty mouths and generally horrific ways of summarizing our stories/characters’ plights. (Think in-ms comments like: “SEXY MAN DOIN’ SEXY MAN THAAANGS!” ...We wish we were kidding.) One thing to note before we dive in is that every critique partnership is different—there’s no “right” way to build your relationship with your critique partner. And note that we have other critique partners, with whom we work differently as well (and who we love and appreciate equally)! [hr]
