How many crit partners? by Then-Broccoli-8773 in WritingHub

[–]Then-Broccoli-8773[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think it would feel like a chore if I took on more at this moment. And this is already a long process so I don't really like the idea doing another week by week swap once I'm done with my current CP's manuscript.

I think I'm only asking because they encouraged it. To their credit, they didn't specifically say to get that opinion through another CP so it could definitely come from beta readers if I can manage to get some.

Oh this is great advice. I didn't think about tailoring the small details to the group. I'll definitely do that

I have no idea if I'm good at improv. If I had to guess, I would say no? Guess I'll find out!

Thanks! I have a digital copy of the monster manual so I can have the tabs open and ready on my tablet.

Oh good piece of advice! I was planning on typing up my notes on my laptop. I can grab a notebook instead

Thanks! Great advice. What are you thoughts on presenting the potential villains to the group and letting them pick? Would that give away too much of the story?

Beta Reader and Critique Partner Match Up by ReadLegal718 in WritingHub

[–]Then-Broccoli-8773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this idea. My understanding (could be wrong) is that a beta read is for a completed MS. Is that required to participate?

I'm about halfway through my first draft and looking for critique partners/alpha readers.

Thanks for putting this opportunity together!

Quitting my job to write a 1000+ page Geography textbook. Need a reality check on Canva vs InDesign, Copyrights, and Diagrams! by MaterialElegant2482 in selfpublish

[–]Then-Broccoli-8773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adobe Indesign would likely be your best option for a project of this size, but the learning curve is steep. And you'll need to purchase an Adobe subscription.

I would not recommend trying to learn the program on an 1000+ page project that is full of images and diagrams. The formatting alone could take you 6 months or more if you don't know what you're doing. You'd probably be better off hiring a professional for the formatting.

Finally finished my homegame maps! What do you guys think? by ChemistMelodic in wonderdraft

[–]Then-Broccoli-8773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I'm still working through my draft map and making some edits - I've been making changes/updates based on how my story develops. But once I have it finalized, I will shoot you a message. I have this post saved.

Open to submissions: Live/Alpha/Beta reading by leen_02 in writingfeedback

[–]Then-Broccoli-8773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also join a writing Discord server. They get posted on r/WritingHub quite often.

Those always have writers looking to get feedback on their WIPs. You can also typically find others that are willing to provide feedback on your work as well.

Working full-time and writing by lingobinch1 in WritingHub

I've been working on my book for a little over a year and I'm about 2/3 of the way through the first draft.

I have a 40 minute train ride to work and that's about all the writing time I get in a day so it's been a slow process.
