Online: Critiques with J. Komp and Willamette Writers
April 20, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeHurts So Good – Turning painful critiques into productive reader insight
Are you an editor, member of a read & critique group, part time beta reader, reviewer of books? This class will turn you into an invaluable resource for yourself and other writers. Become a respected authority with better questions, story specific feedback, and learning the art of counterpoint arguments.
J. Komp will show you how to quantify and qualify everyone from beta readers to industry professionals and use the data to elevate your writing. Bring your harshest reviews and leave the class with a soul-cleansing perspective.
About J. Komp
J. Komp, of Just Key Edits, has been taking apart stories, to explain why we love or hate them, for over 30 years. A Behavioral Science major, that found her voice after a decade of live theater productions, Jennie lives for stories that are as entertaining and consumable as they are transformative. Her development editing focuses on the connection between a book and its potential audience, emphasizing the tangible elements that bring a story into a reader’s everyday life and reveal our relationship with the extraordinary.
We are really looking forward to hearing her perspective, and connecting with you again!
