The problem with being a genuine critique partner seeking to connect with other working authors on social media is that people who don’t know you assume you’re running a scam. #critiquepartners #authors #writers

Filter out the phonies, fakes, and frauds.

I am a genuine, no-BS critique partner who gives excellent feedback for FREE.

Details on the website in my bio.

If you are not ready to swap right now, but want to stay engaged in the conversation, please know that I understand and appreciate this.

I have created a READER page on the website in my bio for people who want to do more than just read, but less than full chapter swaps.

The Company takes everything and always wants more.

This time, they’ve gone too far.

It’s free. But it doesn’t suck.

Just asking. #fourthwing #romantasy

Is it my imagination or are their fewer bots on Bluesky than Threads? I don’t experience the same daily bombardment of spam here.

My one sentence pitch … The Last Coffle is a low fantasy about working class people fighting to free themselves from wealthy oligarchs.

That’s a fair question to ask her.

There are several options listed on my website. CPs choose which of the options they want from me. Generally I ask for the same back from them. However, with CPs in the top 10% or when CPs have unusual skills, I will sometimes request something specific.

Mutual feedback. I typically have 50 CPs to work with. About 10% are regulars. The rest are off and on, depending on what’s happening with their lives.

I start all long opinion pieces on controversial subjects by reading the last paragraph first. Therefore I have a different perspective on what Gina was saying here.

Critique partners prevent disasters. #authors

Novel swaps are too big for me, personally. I wouldn’t swap novels unless it was a critique partner I had a long relationship with. I do chapter swaps with most of my CPs. Sometimes just chapter sections. Start small. See if it works out before committing to something bigger.

Honestly. I have given up on writing groups. In my experience, the serious writer/attention seeker ratio is never good. What I do now works much better. I connect one-on-one with authors. We start with chapter swaps. If these work out and we are both happy, we move on to larger swaps. Details in bio

Fantasy authors. Who would like to swap chapters for critique feedback? I have an open slot this weekend.

Is it because so many are scams?

Intended to be helpful not critical. My feedback is a question. What are the high stakes mentioned in the proposed blurb?

Hey fantasy readers. Who will give me feedback on chapter one? Read it on brentjohner.com and then decide if you want to say anything. No risk.

Reply if interested. No spam, thank you.

You’re the best.

Chapter 7 - Draft 2 has been posted on brentjohner.com for critique partners and those of you following along.

Draft 7 of Chapter 1 is available on brentjohner.com. Check it out. See if I’m someone you might want to work with as a critique partner.

In order to establish my credibility with readers, I am publishing a web serial on brentjohner.com. #literaryfiction #author #fantasy
