Writing Better Fiction: Craft Tips From Some of Canada's Best Writers and Editors | Robert J Sawyer, Hayden Trenholm, Ron S Friedman

“Approach each manuscript with an attitude of helpfulness. Build up; don‘t tear down. Do not be offensive. You‘ll inspire either self-doubt or disgust, neither of which will help a future rewrite. You don‘t want the critique to be ignored or the story to be abandoned.” #critic #QuotsyMay21

GIVING AND RECEIVING CRITIQUES”
