Are you getting feedback from the wrong critique group? In this episode, I share why surrounding yourself with the right writing community is essential for novel writers. I'll show you how to find critique partners who actually read your genre, build a supportive writing community that accelerates your craft, and know when it's time to work with a developmental editor or book coach.

Whether you're drafting your first manuscript or seeking feedback on your latest chapters, I'll help you intentionally choose the voices that belong in your creative space. Learn how to "read up" to improve your writing, protect your confidence while finding your people, and invest in teachers and editors who truly understand your vision. Perfect for fiction writers and aspiring novelists at any stage of the journey.
