If you have sent a form in the last six months, I'm sorry to say I've been slacking. There was a family situation that required a lot of my time and when I wasn't working on that, I was writing. But I think I've found a little breathing room and hope to be more active with CP Matchmaker. If you sent in a form and haven't heard from me please send an email and jog my memory.

Things have stalled
I haven't been as active as I should with this because without people sending in the applications I don't have people to match. If you are interested in an online Critique Partner please fill out the application and I'll get you matched when we have two to three people who write in the same genre and have the same commitment.
If you are already a member, please let me know how things are going. Also, let me know if you've lost someone from the group and want another person or if things are going well for you.
Happy Holidays everyone!

Check In
It's 2012! A new year has rolled in and I'd like those of you who have been matched with critique partners to please check in with me and let me know if:
1) The group is working
2) You need new partners
3) You are no longer in need of a critique partner
It's easier for you to contact me than me trying to contact each of you separately.

Thank you!

Praise for CP Matchmaker
"Coupled with other two crit partners I've just sold my first novel." Zrinka C. Jelic
"I love our crit group!! Crits from both are indispensable and the Jager crit group is without doubt among one of my most valued writer connections." Mary Knapp
"My critique partners are truly valued. I get detailed feedback and they usually focus on different areas so, as a whole, the weekly feedback is well-rounded and helpful. Paty, your website was a great idea and continues to be a blessing. Thanks so much!" Kara Ashley Dey
"Well, I think it's going great! If I can only stay better organize and not forget what I am supposed to do! But my partners aren't shy about reminding me and the crits have been super helpful. I think we just agreed to up our weekly words, which is great!" Leslie Dow

The Benefits
I've found over the years that the benefits of having a critique partner have been many.
My first CP helped me untwist my sentences with calm guidance. Then she taught me and is still thumping me for show vs tell. I've taught her about horses and the west and helped with brainstorming.
My second CP helped me with big picture problems and I helped her with story structure.
My current CPs, one helps me with line edits and redundant words and the other with strengthening the emotions. I help one with character structure and the other one with editing and overall story structure.
Being a Critique partner means a working relationship with another writer or two who help you improve your writing and who you help improve theirs.
