I am working on my first manuscript and have luckily followed this path, even without reading this first. But I will share it- you summarize the process beautifully. Thanks for sharing you experience and knowledge with us.

I've taught middle school gifted students for many years, so am a decent editor/responder in that sense of supporting the ideas, etc. I like your post & found it so informative.

I belong to a critique group and we critique chapters at a time, but have just recently sent off my entire manuscript to members of my online critique group. Looking forward to hearing their feedback.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788321265914678622.post-88910685661409518232012-12-06T11:12:20.741-07:002012-12-06T11:12:20.741-07:00Are you a writer as well?

Second draft is a good place for that. <br /><br />I recently sent my "final" to readers, only some of whom write. I specified that I wanted them to turn off the writer in them. <br /><br />Thanks for putting that into an easy to explain format.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584643018505305470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788321265914678622.post-11103737022667490562012-12-05T23:42:16.946-07:002012-12-05T23:42:16.946-07:00I'm in the middle of being a beta reader.
