Unless you're merely keeping a diary or journal, most writers write because they wish to entertain, motiviate, instruct, inspire or otherwise create a reaction in the reader.
Although feedback is helpful to all writers, those new to the writing craft can especially benefit (and sometimes long) for it, since it provides ideas if they are stuck, an analysis of what's working (and what's not), and suggestions on ways to optimally convey the message.
However, unless one belongs to a writing group, it's often difficult to find someone so interested in your work (Auntie May doesn't count) that he/she will carefully read it and offer a focused evaluation.
If you live in the Will/Grundy area, I'm offering two opportunities. Perhaps one will work for you. See below, and maybe I'll see you there!
