Kai | 3 comments I'm looking to make a long-term friend to swap stories, share opinions, discuss new ideas, and all that fun stuff. We could also be each other's beta reader, critique partner, and/or editor (for development, line, copy, proofreading). I'll be receiving my B.A. in English in a couple of months, so I'll be more than happy to put my degree to use.

I'm working on a New Adult Asian-inspired LGBT historical fantasy. It takes place in a made-up world but there's no magic, adult content, or made-up creatures in it (though, I am open to adding adult content). Currently, I'm in the process of creating a detailed outline, and I would love to talk to someone about my plot and character development. Even though I don't have a draft to swap right now, I'm more than willing to help you no matter where you are in the writing process.

I am happy to work with almost any genre. All I ask is that you are at least interested in my current project. I think I should also mention that I prefer books with a romantic element (even if it's a minor one).

I would love to get to know you more. So, please comment below or PM me, if you're interested.

Paul Arvidson (paularvidson) Are you still in the market for a writing buddy? Your stuff sounds really interesting and I need someone to critique for me so I can crack on and get my second indie book out there.

I'm currently writing SFF which is probably YA appropriate too but I didn't write it that way. I'm a Brit living in Somerset, 40 odd with a wife and 2 kids.

I want to make a living out of writing but I'm still in that 'setting the groundwork' stage.

Am very willing to put a load of work in to making a mutual critique/beta partnership work.

See what you think.

Thanks for reading :)
Best of luck with the writing,

Paul

Hi Kai,
I am actually in very much a similar boat. I'll be getting my B.A. in English next year, but have completed all of my creative writing major requirements. I am currently plotting/outlining an adult LGBT romantic short story. And would love to chat about plotting, characters, POV, etc. But I think it would be nice to have a critique partner, with the hopes that I can stay on track and get a draft finished while helping someone else.

If you want to chat more, you can reach me at asgwilli@gmail.com.
Thanks,
Ashley

Martha | 92 comments Paul,

I write YA fantasy (1.5 books so far, still in editing). I'm looking for a brainstorming/critique/beta buddy. I'm American, but in your general age/family range.

If you might be interested, please let me know.

Martha
