Looking to Critique

I'm currently writing...

I’m currently working on a young adult novel that is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Its setting is similar to the original (sort of a medieval-ish French-ish kind of country), but the story focuses on answering some questions that I think are very unanswered in most of the versions of the story.

Critiquing experience

I have dabbled here & there

Are you pursuing publication?

Yes, I’m serious about getting published

What I want in an awesome Critique Partner

Deep critique. I am experienced with critiquing., Regular feedback

The type of structure you like

Enforced structure and deadlines

How often can you give & receive feedback?

Bi Weekly

What is your writing experience?

Not a ton of experience, but I’m getting more serious about it. Recently took third-place in a small flash fiction contest (fun!). Would like to publish someday.

My writing influences are...

I adore Shannon Hale (my dream is to someday magically be able to write like her). Brandon Sanderson, though I’ll never write like him. Cameron Dokey’s fairytale retellings.

Books I enjoy reading

Young adult fiction mostly. Light, fluffy stuff.

More About Me

I’m a full-time mom, which takes up most of my time. It’s only in the past year or so that I’ve really started trying to write more seriously (which has always been a dream of mine). I want to write novels mostly, but I’m also trying out short stories right now. Oh, and I blog randomly and sporadically. I’m looking for a critique partner to offer some serious feedback (and a bit of encouragement too!) and help keep me going when I want to procrastinate instead.
