If you edit by yourself the chance of missing plot holes and errors goes up. But taking every idea for change that is suggested isn't the best idea either. Clark Chamberlain and Peter Turley talk with author M. Todd Gallowglas about how to get the most from your critique groups and beta readers and if writing groups are worthwhile.http://thebookeditorshow.com/

As we continue our exploration of plot we examine the Subplot also called the B Story.
We look at the importance of subplot and give examples from books that aren't Harry Potter!
We also share an easy method to check if your subplot actually matters and how to fix it or cut it entirely.
