What is a Critique Partner Match Program?
The NHWP Critique Partner Match Program pairs writers in small groups for peer editing, critique, and commentary.
Once matched, we encourage you and your partners to meet regularly (a minimum of four times over the course of the four-month cycle) in order to share and give comment on your current projects.
Participate to meet fellow writers, engage creatively, and receive some useful feedback on your writing!
Please note this service is for active NHWP members only! If you are not yet a member, join the membership to participate.
How it Works
Once you complete a form, we will endeavor to find you some critique partners in your region (or in an adjacent region) of New Hampshire.
We assign you to a group of 3-4 critique partners. You will then be left to your own devices to exchange sections of your work then organize meetups (preferably in person) where you offer critique and commentary. If you are assigned a group of Critique Partners, we will give you some suggestions of how to organize the logistics.
Each round of the Critique Partner Match program is for four months (November-February inclusive). Depending on your region and genre, there is a chance we may NOT have a suitable match for you this round. If so, we will let you know if one becomes available.
Critique matching is like “blind dating”. You may not know who you will get for a match, and although we strive to pair people the best we can, you could possibly get matched with a person or group that is not a good fit. If this happens, don’t be discouraged! Let us know. Sometimes we can find matches for people after the program is underway if others are having problems with their match as well.
The more information you can give us on the application form, the better your chances of a great first match!
