For about a year, I’ve been in a writing critique group with three other excellent folks who are also doing this whole writing thing. One of our members, Rae Harding, connected on Twitter with Natalie Lockett, a YA writer who recently started a writing podcast called “Write Away.” Natalie was recording a podcast on peer and professional critique, and she asked us if we’d like to be on the podcast and share about our critique group and how it’s impacted our writing.
Of course, we said yes!
If you are a writer (and especially if you are an aspiring author), I highly recommend finding/creating a critique group. It can be as simple as finding other authors and asking them to join you in a group! That’s basically what happened with ours.
There are dozens of reasons to be part of a critique group. Here are a few:
- Get feedback on your writing
- Get to know other writers and form a support network for your writing career
- Learn by critiquing others’ writing

Or find Write Away podcast on iTunes or Spotify! We were on Episode 3: Peer and Professional Critique.
