Hello! I've just published the first critique in our writer's workshop for premium subscribers! Check out "Something Out There" - A New Adult, Zombie Apocalypse Story
Honestly, being picked for this is a lifesaver. Since I've finished, I kept feeling like something was missing in this piece. I knew that something was holding me back from feeling that is was 'complete' and now I know exactly what it is, and exactly what to focus on. This feedback was amazing. Again, thank you.
I just wanted to thank you for this workshop, Paula. It was so informative! I have a scene in the beginning of my WIP (more women's fiction than zombie apocalypse, but still...), and I realized after reading this analysis that, with a tweak of a few lines, I could actually add some foreshadowing to my opening chapters! The main character's sister plays a much larger role in some critical issues, later in the book, and I've now turned what was a throwaway conversation into one with tons of subtext. Thank you so much for this!
Wow, Paula, this was fascinating and very very helpful! It comes with perfect timing too. I started a new WIP about a man trying to find medicine for his girlfriend during a vampire apocalypse, and this made me rethink my approach with the intro/first chap. So much information here for me to chew and digest. Yaaaaaay!!!
Paula, thank you so much!

Wonderful, Jackie! Layering in that sort of subtext is so incredibly satisfying, isn't it? I'm so happy the analysis helped!
