  • Bitter or Misunderstood?

    Apr 04, 2012

    I’ve just had a disappointing experience. I’d joined a big writers’ network in my state, hoping to find some community but also because they offer a critiquing service. “The Network’s roster of critiquers is selected in accordance with the highest standards of excellence, including publication requirements and extensive mentoring and editing experience.” Yeah.
