​The Power of A Good Critique
​
​
  • A good critique is never judgmental or criticizing. A  good critique always inspires, never deflates!
    ​
  • Becoming a good critiquer grows from an understanding of writing techniques and the writing process. This happens over time. The workshop inspires you to articulate why a piece of writing works and why it doesn't. The dynamic of my workshops encourages everyone to give as well as receive. 

  • Receiving a "good" critique is inspiring. People often say the best critiques happen when piece isn't working. Understanding why a piece isn't working may not be obvious at the beginning. As the conversation flowers, your understanding becomes clarified and a great learning experience is had by all!
    ​
  • Of course, a critique that is a unanimous "Wow, that was great!" from everyone around the table is always a welcomed experience!

​"I am pleased I sent you my writing. I realize how really good you are as a writing coach. I love that you get excited about our writing and don't take it apart. ​You delight in our creativity, even when we're struggling. That's special, Emily. There aren't many people who do that. Thank you." ~Sara Healy
