You...It was my pleasure to make your day,Becky. :)<br />Your book will go a long way to help making the day for - other - writers eager to learn how to build a supportive critique community as well as give and receive criticism.<br />I love to read author acknowledgements - including YOURS - and often note the names of fellow Writing Group members.<br />Indeed, that's how my name first appeared in a published children's book!<br />(Thank you Hariette Robinet!)<br />As luck would have it, Jane Friedman offers an excerpt from Becky's book in her post today.<br />Check out https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3934041490878801751&postID=5274472887315257157&isPopup=true<br /><br />Enjoy!Esther Hershenhornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12016897434029543881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-63529471556618266282010-07-21T12:37:33.400-05:002010-07-21T12:37:33.400-05:00Yes, this is a phenomenal book.

We choose our new members very, very carefully, and require a writing sample. Even so, sometimes the fit isn't right. Usually the other person feels the same way too, and bows out. We've seen each other through publishing our first books, and first agents and even through various first awards. Great ride!Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.com
