Janet Walters and Jane Toombs – Becoming Your Own Critique Partner
| On Thursday, June 21st at 8:00PM EDT we spoke with Janet Walters and Jane Toombs about essential mistakes that every writer must work to avoid and how to proactively defend against these issues. For example, we covered “Show vs. Tell” in conveying action, preventing “False Starts” to make sure your story starts and ends in the right place, and the nature of dialogue and what it should convey, to name a few topics in this jam-packed interview. |  |
