I might suggest writers have someone who is farther along in the process or more experienced review the work, because the publishing professionals have much higher standards than friends, family and even some writing groups. <br /><br />Also, I have beta readers that love my work - which is different from having at least one kick-ass critique partner who is going to pull apart your work on your behalf to make it better.Amy Sue Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13854920309673361956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-45679743067638194822009-04-23T14:27:00.000-04:002009-04-23T14:27:00.000-04:00Great post and happy birthday, Authoress!
