The purpose of Writers-and-Editors is to encourage writers through friendly critique.


:bookdiva: Joining

All are welcome.


:bookdiva: Submitting

  • This group is friendly for all ages. Mature content should go in the mature content folder.

  • Religious content is allowed if it's respectful. Deviations that are considered offensive will be removed from the gallery.

  • Currently there are no submission limits.

  • You cannot submit to the featured gallery. We will move things there if we wish to highlight them.

  • Please read the folder descriptions in the gallery and submit to the correct folder. If you accidentally submit to the wrong folder, please tell us and we'll move it.


:bookdiva: Critique


If you are looking for a critic or wish to be one, please comment on this blog entry!


  • Please be polite and mature when critiquing others' works. Remember, a good critic provides just enough suggestions to help the writer improve, and just enough praise to help their confidence grow!

  • Please do not overreact to critique! Receiving critique is one of the best ways to improve your writing. If you don't want suggestions on improving your work, don't submit it here.


:bookdiva: General Conduct


  • Critique is welcome. Being mean, rude, biased, offensive or a general :trollface:is not. You will be warned for offensive conduct. If it continues, we may block you from the group.

  • Please feel free to offer friendly critiques on submitted works

  • If you are having a group-related issue, please send us a note. If your problem involves people breaking the etiquette policy, a bug within dA itself, or something that you don't think a W-and-E admin could solve, please contact the help desk.

Hello, everyone! Long time no see. I think we are all aware of how long it's been since we have begun the critic system here at #Writers-and-Editors (https://www.deviantart.com/writers-and-editors), and hopefully it's been a success to both the volunteer critics and writers. :) But we believe here that there is always room for improvement, and so we are planning on reorganizing the critic system here not only to make it clearer but also easier and more interactive than before. We have some ideas and plans on how to accomplish this, but what we would also like is to involve your input as well since you guys are the ones being affected by these changes. :) If you have participated in t

This is because the contest allows both or I have not been able to determine if they want one or the other specifically. Let's get this boat rolling with updates again! Remember to send me a contest that is Literature specific if you know of one not listed from Deviantart. Are you finding it difficult to be inspired? Are you tired of the mundane routine? Are you looking for a fun, new way to write creatively?   We would like to begin listing Literature-specific contests for your leisure to look th

Edit 3: Remember, everyone, that you are not limited to asking just one critic. Feel free to ask as many as you'd like. Sometimes, the more critiques one has, the more well-rounded feel for one's story can be felt. Edit 2: Critics, if you would like to say what you specialize in best, please comment below on a new comment. :)  Thank you.   Edit: If you are a critic and wish to change any information regarding your status on critiquing, please comment on this journal! :) Thank you. We've all been there.  We want to improve in what we do.  We want others to tell us what they see may need more rounding

Hello,

It looks like this group is inactive. I'm trying to kickstart a few new writing groups. Check them out if you're interested. :) 
Story-Specters
This is a writing critique group. It works off of a give-one get-one basis. Folders are routinely emptied to ensure critique requests are from active members.
Write-Fantasy
A Fantasy Literature showcase! Find fantasy writers or display your work. This group is organized by subgenre and offers dedicated folders for members' chaptered works.
Prompt-Write
New writing prompts every month!

Hello everyone. I'm a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon fanfiction writer who's writing an ongoing series of stories. After a rough start with the first story, I decided to look for someone who could help critique my future work, and help me avoid making the same mistakes I did in the past.

Currently, I'm in the middle of making the second story, as well as slowly working on a series of sub-stories to expand my characters and setting further.

The only requirement you must fulfill is that you are fairly knowledgeable about Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, or the Pokemon franchise in general. 

Please send me a note if you are interested.
