Looking for a Crit Partner?
It can be difficult to find a good crit partner. You need someone who’s a great reader and who understands writing well enough to give you constructive suggestions. If you’re the only writer among your friends and family or you live in a rural area, it can be tough to find anyone to even talk to about your writing.
Enter the Internet and a lady named Seanchai.
Seanchai has created a site for writers looking for a crit partner over at Ning. Imagine eHarmony or Match.com for writers and you get the picture. When you join, you fill out a profile with questions on what type of writing you do, the genre, etc. You can then post in the different forums (by genre) to introduce yourself and locate a partner. Crit Partner Match currently has 75 members and is looking to grow. Head over there today and sign up.

It really is a great idea– I’ve used it for a few weeks, and I’ve found a crit partner. I’ve got high hopes for Crit Partner Match.

Hi Deanne and Eliza,
I hope the match-up works well. If you think about it later on, drop me a note to let me know how it’s going. I’d love to feature some success stories for Kathleen’s great idea!
