Hi! Here's the link to the blog which explains the importance of forming critique groups http://wgfec.blogspot.com/ This is especially important for you during this first stage of writing, to help you to write the best book possible. Other's can help you to know when you're off track, if something doesn't make sense, where you're missing commas, things like that.

Once you have finished writing and polishing your manuscript, you can move on to formatting and publishing, but this is the first step.

I'm working on revising my first novel. It follows a young woman as she returns to Argentina after years of living in the U.S. where she and her family sought refuge from the Dirty War. It's all about her discovering what really happened to her mother, who mysteriously disappeared during the height of the war and how this one thread of truth basically unravels her entire life and who she thought she was. In my opinion it crosses over between adult and young adult fiction but it is really different and I'm having trouble figuring out where exactly my book will fit in.

Would anyone out there be willing to exchange emails with me and critique my manuscript? I've queried some agents but haven't recieved news from anyone who's interested. It's about 50,000 words which is about 90 pages in a word document.

I would be more than happy to exchange a critique with other writers out there looking for the same thing.

If you want to read a sample of my work to see if it's something you might be interested in reading, I have a short story posted on my goodreads account.

Thanks!!!!
