Michelle Morone liked the forum thread, Looking for feedback? Join Critshares!
Lots of folks have been soliciting feedback on the forums for a few weeks now. As an Inkshares Drafter myself, I know firsthand how hard it can be to get feedback here. So I decided to do something about it!


Critshares is a private group I’ve created on the online critiquing community Scribophile. Critshares was created to address the needs of Inkshares writers looking for detailed feedback on their work. The goal of this group is to help Inkshares authors put their ‘best foot forward’ in order to increase their chances of funding success. 

WHAT IS SCRIBOPHILE?
Scribophile is an active, online social writing workshop and writer’s community. It’s an incredible way to get detailed feedback on your writing, learn how to critique, make friends, and build an audience. The site also contains forums, public groups, and contests. I cannot stress enough how great it is, especially for new writers. And it’s free! FAQs here.

HOW IT WORKS
Scribophile works on a ‘credit’ system, where you earn credits to post your own work by providing critiques on the work others have posted.

Critiquing earns you “Karma Points” (the site’s system of currency) which you use to pay for submitting. Once you’ve accumulated 5 karma points, you can post a work on the site. Each work ‘costs’ 5 points.

Upon posting your first chapter, your work will go into the public ‘New Member Spotlight’ to help you get noticed and get your first critiques. Your work is guaranteed to receive 3 critiques from the community-at-large before leaving the spotlight. Critshares members are also guaranteed an additional critique from a group member once their work leaves the spotlight. 

Typically, it takes 2-3 critiques to get enough Karma to submit. You get more Karma the more detailed your critique. This is quite easy to earn, but…

NEW MEMBER BONUS KARMA!
As an inaugural bonus, I’ll be gifting 1 Karma point (from my own Karma pool) to the first 5 new group members who join after the posting of this announcement and complete one critique. Scribophile gives you 2 points right away when you sign up. So you’ll be that much closer to posting your work and getting critiques!

MEMBERSHIP
Scribophile is free to join and use. There is a premium option which gives you access to additional features. Premium members also get a discount on a Scrivener license!

PLEASE NOTE: You have to sign up for your free account before you will be able to see any content or group pages on the site.  

So if you’re serious about getting feedback and improving your work, come join the party!  Please feel free to PM me with questions, or post them here.

    Michelle Morone liked an update for The Last Faoii

    Faoii! Today marks a HUGE victory for us!

    Please greet our newest warriors on the field. 35 fighters joined our battle today, as we’ve been backed by the Break the Bechdel with Strong Female Characters syndicate! This is the greatest honor I could have expected for The Last Faoii on inkshares (other than publication). I am proud to display their medal on our wall. Between that and the Teen Reads syndicate medal, people will soon recognize our merit.

    Here’s what the syndicate had to say: 

    "Nelson has created a fully realized world with many amazing fully developed badass female characters. At the helm of this adventure is a protagonist to keep your eye on- she’s smart, she’s flippant, she’s unstoppable with a sword and she’s about to undergo the loss of her sisters...Join the Faoii now for fierce battles, witty banter and a main character you’ll fall in love with!"

    I am also proud to say that their support has brought us to 7th place in the Geek and Sundry contest. We’ve risen higher on that hill than ever before, and we’re constantly getting closer to the summit. We can do this, Faoii. Shields up!

    Faoii-Tahani
