Literary Fiction
Public Group active 3 weeks, 1 day ago agoLiterary fiction is a hard term to pin down. It is distinguished from genre fiction and generally aspires to a “serious” and lasting level, with a focus on character, style, and psychological depth.

Hi – I’m new to Ladies Who Critique, so am just figuring the place out. I’ve written a piece of Asian women’s fiction (think Amy Tan or Lisa See, but set in Thailand) that should appeal to readers who enjoy strong female protagonists, exotic settings, themes of sacrifice and redemption, and dark family secrets. I’m looking to connect with…[Read more]

Hi Jade,
I’d love to be your critique partner if, for no other reason, than to get to know you! Combating child trafficking? Picking up and moving to Thailand? Just amazing! But I think getting to know you would just be an added benefit because I think I’d also be interested in swapping work, if you’re still looking for a critique partner that…[Read more]-
Hi Cathy,
Thanks so much! I’m really flattered and I’d love to get to know you better too, and maybe exchange some writing. What do you write about? Where are you in the process? We could maybe chat a bit or share a small sample to see if we’re a good fit and see how it goes from there? Let me know what you think! Cheers, Jade-
Sounds like a wonderful idea! I haven’t really had a chance to explore the site too much. Do we exchange emails or is there a section to chat and exchange samples here on the site?
-
Yeah I’m not entirely sure how it works either, but please do email me and tell me a bit about yourself, and if you have any questions for me and then we can exchange our work. Sound good? My email is: jade.celene.keller[at]gmail.com.

Hi Folks,
I founded a small imprint, Glas Daggre, to promote my novel Clotho’s Loom. However, the blog is growing, and if you’ll look past the “promo” and occasional “puff” pieces, you’ll see plenty of material there about literary fiction and culture criticism.
Also, if anyone feels they have a ms. that would be right for this imprint,…[Read more] -

Hi, I am a new writer looking to publish a fictional novel. I am unpublished and looking to build a strong working relationship with a critique partner! My novel seems to fit into this category and the history category.
-
Hi Katie, wanna swap a chapter or two and see what we think about the fit?
-
Sure, would you like to send me a message with your email?
-
Great! Iwilliamgeuss@sbcglobal.net
Let me know if you have a particular structure in mind, e.g. feedback on characters, conflict, plot, setting, and flow.
Probably best to start with the opening scenes/chapter.
I would be glad to send you the opening to my novel(la) Dumpster Days or a short story if you prefer.
William

Hello, hello!
My name is Karima and I am about to embark on the final (I hope) draft of my second novel. It is technically under contract to a small publisher located here in Senegal, West Africa, but I […]

Anyone? I’d like to connect with women who write serious literature for women that excludes genre romance & chic lit. I write contemporary fiction with a hint of magical intrigue. At present I’m editing my second novel & outlining my third. Not actively seeking a crit partner although very keen to exchange ideas & to explore the writing…[Read more]

I am very much like you. I have struggled to connect with like writers. Everything it seems today is geared towards YA, which is fine! I would rather have them reading than doing the myriad of other things they can get caught up in these days, but hello? There are people like you and I, still alive and kicking. We grew up before XBox and the…[Read more]

Hi, Tina.
I finally ran you down. I’d be happy to critique with you, but you need to include your email address when you email me as this site doesn’t provide one.

I would be happy to connect with you. I am a published writer of women’s fiction with more of literary bent that deals with gender issues and differences. My first novel, FINDING LILY, was published by an indie romance publisher who happened to like the story so I am suddenly stuck in a world of romance and trying to find my way back to connect…[Read more]
