Path to Publish

[jayene]

A couple people expressed interest in this after the holidays... it's after so I figure I will post again. This is a community I have started as a critique group for fiction (or memoir) writers wanting peer critique. I am planning to keep the group smallish (but right now it's 2 people so that isn't a concern) and I am vetting anyone that I haven't seen a writing sample (a LJ post counts) so that we don't get leet, poor grammar or the like. It will be honest critique of the work, but it will be professional. I have a list of rules at the community (pathtopublish). If you are writing only for yourself with no plans to publish anything this isn't the group for you. I'm planning to do some industry posts and it should be a good place for asking questions about the publishing process. There is a word count per month to post, it's small but this is supposed to be about writing so a requirement is to actually write. There is also a mandatory amount of critiquing that you will have to do (since this is also about critiquing). There are outs for real life and the requirements are not large. They could be met in an evening or less. I modeled this a lot after the critters group which is a wonderful functional group. If you are interested please drop a note here or add Pathtopublish and I'll approve your membership.

I seriously would LOVE to do this as there are several ideas bumping against each other in my head. The problem is that I am afraid that time will work against me and I wouldn't be able to keep up with the requirements. :(
