one-to-one critique feedback

 

“We’ve been working together for a period of about six months, and I’ve been having one-to-one literary mentorship support from NQW. I guess one of the challenges that I faced at the beginning of our sessions was that I was over-reliant on the use of back-story.

 

I think my sessions with NQW have given me a really much better understanding of the use and purpose of dialogue. His facilitation skills have been excellent and they have greatly helped me to generate ideas on characterisation and plot line. NQW’s feedback on my manuscript submissions have been detailed and very thorough, and he has critiqued my work, with a fine-toothed comb and in great detail, and this has been valuable for me to read after our sessions, and to reflect on.

I think what’s important really is that at no point has NQW ever imposed his agenda on my work. And I have to say really, it has been serious fun in many ways. Not that surprising, since I’m writing comedy fiction with a nice little dusting of homicide. In fact the one-to-one sessions have been so useful to me that I felt confident enough to actually join one of his group mentoring sessions, and that also has been really, really helpful.” – Dr P.M.
