SPA Girls Podcast – EP290 – Dealing with Edits and Critiques

Getting edits and critiques is part of every author’s career, but sometimes it can feel worse than getting stung by a wasp on your eyeball.

Like directly in the middle of your eyeball. By a really big wasp. Where it would really, really hurt. 

So that’s what we’re talking about this week in the SPA – how our thoughts on critiques have changed over the years, how we deal with the pangs when someone says something mean about our book babies, and why we think you can’t afford to go without critiques and edits.
