As a writer, I want to learn and grow and am doing so by giving and receiving critiques. Just like you, I finally am realizing I am driving too far for too little. Not quite certain how writers of YA fantasy can best critique my picture book manuscripts. There must be a good match.Garden Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381204646734686433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-9865844226296239422015-08-13T20:56:13.277-04:002015-08-13T20:56:13.277-04:00I'm still looking.
