World of Writers discussion

Hello everyone!!!

Do you have a WIP that you'd like help perfecting? Are you looking for alpha and/or beta readers?

You've appeared in the right thread! XD

Here's how this works: you'll get assigned a buddy, and you will exchange work and advice for a month or so. If you're finding the partnership to be helpful, you can opt to keep it, or you can get a new buddy.

The rules are simple:
1) Be honest
2) Be kind
3) Be constructive
4) Be active

If you break these rules, obviously no one is going to hurt you over it, but you might lose your buddy. Just a warning. :)

Okay, so here's the template:

Name:
Age:
Genre:
Type of critique (i.e., alpha, beta, light, medium, harsh):
Type of buddy (I.e. just for fun, serious critique, etc):
Anything else you'd like to add:

Have fun everyone!

Name: kennie
Age: fourteen
Genre: action/adventure, dystopian, with a romantic twist
Type of critique (i.e., alpha, beta, light, medium, harsh): harsh ( also whats the difference between beta and alpha? )
Type of buddy (I.e. just for fun, serious critique, etc): serious critique.
Anything else you'd like to add: either have wattpad or will get wattpad. because that is where i post my book :)

Thanks for the application Kennie!!! Alpha is basically if your book is in the beginning/middle stages and not ready for final editing, beta is immediately before your book is published. :) (That's how I've always understood it at least lol)

I'll post your partnership here when I get another application with the necessary qualities.

okay! well i would like an alpha one then :)

Gotcha covered! :)

Actually, do you want to just be partners with me? If not that's completely fine, but just curious.

Type of buddy (I.e. just for fun, serious critique, etc): a medium-serious critique. but also for fun!

Name: Lily
Age: 14
Genre: fantasy, kids/early ya fiction, magic, alternate world (I also do realistic fiction but not here)
Type of critique: light-medium, it’s a work in progress
Type of buddy: mostly just for fun, but also to help get my writing better.
Anything else you’d like to add: they are only going to be short stories. If anyone wants to read it I posted the link on the share your story topic.

Also if you are still looking for a buddy I’d be happy to read and critique your writing kennie if you want. I dont know how good i would be though bc I’ve never really done it before.

Oh never mind about the last comment I see you already have a buddy- actually just completely forget about what I said every part of it

Name: BlueJay

Age: Prefer not to say

Genre: Fantasy, Science fiction, and realistic fiction. Early/medium YA (for around ages 12-14). Some romance, but nothing that isn't accompanied by another genre (unless it's a short story). I like to write fantasy stories with royalty and kingdoms involved, as well as mythical creatures. I also like the cliche person suddenly finds out that they have magic power/ability , but I often add my own personal touches.

Type of critique: I'd say medium, but I'm definitely not rude or harsh in any way.

Type of buddy: I'm mostly a fun buddy!

Hey, Lily! If you still want a buddy, I would be happy to help!

Yes please! That’s like what my types of things are. Do you want to make a topic or something?

Yeah, let's do that!

Or we could chat through Goodreads, if you prefer that.

I dont mind, you can choose

Change of plans: I sent you an invitation to a group, and we can share that way.

Is that okay with you?

Yep that’s fine
