Critique Partners–Worth It?

Today, I’m pleased to be a guest blogger on Seriously Write, talking about crit partners for our writing. I hope you get to check it out here: http://seriouslywrite.blogspot.com/2013/03/critical-thinking-by-heather-day-gilbert.html.

And thank you all who checked out my Viking women post on Gina Conkle’s blog–I just saw your comments and responded! I appreciate you! Hope to do a vlog sometime soon on my own blog here!

    Great post, Heather! I've heard so many wonderful things about critique partners. I would certainly be open to the idea, if I could find the right person. Thanks for pushing me more toward the idea. 🙂

    Jill, I hope you can find one! I don't have a whole lot of time right now, BUT I'm always glad to do query crits, or even first few chapters. Let me know!

Hi, I’m Heather…

I write contemporary mysteries and Viking historicals. Born and brought up in the mountains of West Virginia, I enjoy writing about small towns, family relationships, and women who aren't afraid to protect those they love. Read More…

Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love setting my contemporary mystery series in my home state of WV. What you might not know is that there was a time I wanted nothing more than to move away and spread my wings (somewhere like NYC! Where I wound up living for a year when I got married!). But years down the road, I felt my mountain roots pulling me back. Suddenly, I could see nothing but beauty in these comforting mountains and moody skies and honeysuckled summers. West Virginia is so many things—good and bad as any state is—but it’s entirely unique. My husband once marveled at how many people “came back” to their home state here, even after being gone for years, and I see that all the time. These #Appalachianmountains have a way about them, and it becomes a part of you, a love you don’t want to let go of. I’m a #mountainmama, and I’m glad to bring this truly #wildandwonderful state to readers with my books.
