Is it too late to join this critique group? The story I'm working on now is starting out as a chapter book and several of my unpublished p.b.s have been recommended by editors to be lengthened into chapter books. I flying blind and could use some help. Thanks. BTW, my email address is sarahmaury71@bgmail.com

Hello, all--

I'm still interested in forming a group of 4-6 writers of MG (or maybe YA) realistic fiction.

I have two works in progress--one with  political and ethnic relations themes set in Romania during the 1970's, and another with an environmental theme set in the Finger Lakes of New York State.

I have previously published picture books, but not novels.

Is there anyone still looking for a chapter book critique group that did not get picked up from this post.  Looking for 2-3 people to start a group. There is already 2 of us.  Thanks

Signed up for SCBWI this morning and found this thread. I'm interested in joining a critique group, so I'd like to throw my hat in the ring. Still open for new group members?

I too am new to SCBWI and am interested in joining a Critique group.  I have written and illustrated  a chapter book (perhaps two, depending on if it is divided).  My book takes place outside of the US, but it is not what I would consider "realistic fiction."  My email is jessica@dsandblaw.com

A reminder: The original group may be full, but those of you further down the thread can still connect with each other.

Lorraine and Janice, will you write your email so we can start an email thread?
Charles--I think MG is different than chapter book writing. I bet you can find a more specific group.

UPDATE: JUST READ that the group is full. Thanks.

Hello all,

Is there a group going? Are you accepting new members to the critique group for chapter books?

Thanks,

Hi! Just now seeing this but since I just started working on a chapter book, I could really use some help with critiques! This is my first try at attempting to write a chapter book (I'm more familiar with YA) so I could use some advice! My email is cjcure@yahoo.com. Thanks! I'd love to be in a critique group to help me learn!
