Anyone interested in book-dummy critique group?

[idid]

I'm working on a author-illustrator PB dummy of 32 pages.

Wonder if anyone here is also working on PB dummy or manuscript that need critiques. We can do a PB dummy/manuscript swap

You can reply to this thread or contact me at shululu.lee@gmail.com

Thank you!

@idid I would love to do that! ...
if I were an illustrator.

I can give my opinion on your dummy with the point of view of a random reader if you would like to? I don t feel I can give constructive critics on a professional point of view (I am lacking basics in composition, etc) but certainly cam as an humble reader of children books.

I am totally interested! However, I'm still in the process of working on my dummy and probably won't have it ready until Monday. If you don't mind waiting until then I'm in.

[idid]

@j-sienkowski Of course Monday would work! Creating book is such a long process and I would really like to have critique partners there to support each other throughout this journey.

Can you PM or email me your contact information

[idid]

@Julia Thank you! I'll send you my story for critique once it is done. It will take a couple of weeks before I can finally share it. I thought I should get critique partners, so I posted this thread last night

I would be interested, but I am weeks away from having a dummy of my PB also.

I'm definitely interested!! But I need to work on my dummy because... it currently doesn't exist!

@idid I wish I was at this point but no (sigh). All the best,

[idid]

@erinrew @EliaMurrayArt @Heather-Boyd Looking forward to swap manuscript/book dummy with you in the future

@idid I’d be really interested too, although my book is pretty far from finished! I did an online “Write and Illustrate a picture book“ course with Curtis Brown Creative, so started a 32 page picture book rough but did more work on the writing than illustrations so would need to work a lot on the images before showing them

[idid]

@Lorna-H Just contact me when you are ready to share your book, I'd be happy to exchange/swap anytime

@idid I have a dummy I'd love to get feedback on, and would be happy to take a look at yours! I'll send a link to your email.
