I've never paid anyone to read my writing. I've never paid for a critique or an edit. I'm not saying it's right or wrong.
And with that, here's a TOTALLY awesome checklist for critiquing your own writing and/or someone else's writing:

Check it out.
Have you paid for a critique? Are you looking for a critique partner?
Yeah I paid for a critique. I've paid for editing too. It just seems fair to me to pay someone for their time.
ReplyDeleteI've never paid for an edit or critique. My CPs are pretty darn amazing! ;)
ReplyDeleteI purchased an author critique from a charity auction; the money went to charity and I was able to have a published author in my genre critique a set amount of pages. What was cool is the author also chatted with me over email and instant message a few times and offered me a lot of encouragement and feedback. This was in addition to having a critique group read opening pages and working with a few readers.
