No matter what kind of critique relationship you enter into—working with an editor, joining an in-person or online group or site, or taking a creative writing class or course—you're going to be expected to give feedback on other writers' work and receive it on yours. Are you ready to do that, and do it well? Are you ready to receive less-than-positive critique with good grace?

In Giving and Receiving Effective Critique, Ross Lampert, a.k.a. The Critique Doctor, draws on his over 20 years of critiquing other writers' work and receiving critique from them to teach you:

The vital difference between criticism and critique
What your goals as a critiquer should be
What effective critique is, and four key questions to ask to provide it
Techniques for delivering an honest critique that helps the author learn and makes them eager to get back to work

While it can stand alone, Giving and Receiving Effective Critique will also help you pull together the detailed critique advice you'll find in the next four books in the Craft & Critique series.
