[Stylist] Intro, and about my Writing Project

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Sharon,

Welcome and congrats on the writing project.

Is your project more memoir or autobio?

This listserve may not serve your needs best as a critique group, although, there may be one or two willing to read and provide feedback on an individual level. But, if you're interested in publishing, whether traditional or self-publishing, I encourage you to find a more professional service to provide constructive criticism.

I'm finishing up my MFA in writing, so, if you wait until January, I would be more than willing to provide feedback for you, but, until the New Year, I don't have much time as I'm finishing up a 150-page thesis of creative nonfiction and will graduate in December 😊

Good luck.

Bridgit

Hello Sharon,

I wish you well on your autobiography, and am also doing the same but am nearing the end-stage of this process. I don't know how you are set financially, but there is a website that offers genre-based groups including one for memoirs and autobios called www.scribophile.com It is free to join and you need to give some critiques first to build up karma points before you can post a work of your own. You can do this free of charge as a basic member, and consider a $65.00 per year membership, which gives you unlimited site privileges. I have found it worthwhile!
There is also a free group called The Internet Writing Workshop that is good, but if you can take critiquing that may be a bit intimidating, go for it. There are some good folks there too. I belonged to that for two years and needed a change of venue.
I will not have time during October to assist you as things will be ramping up for me. Hope any of this helps.
Best,
David Russell
