Announcing Crit Partner Matching for all Premium Members!

[Leslie]

Every writer hopes to find one. They're gold-plated grammar ninjas. They can spot a plot hole from their desk a half a world away, and they have the common sense to give you the bad news gently. They're hard to find. They must have an understanding of the genre you write in. They should cringe when they sniff passive voice, and rejoice when they've read five pages of your manuscript and forgotten to edit because the book was just SO. DARN. GOOD.

We're launching the IndieCafe's latest new feature: Crit Partner Matching and offering this great service free of change to all Premium Members for SIX MONTHS!

How this works:

1. This Monday all Premium Members will receive an email with access to the Crit Partner Matching preferences panel to input your preferences. (Not a Premium Member? We can fix that!)
2. You will answer a few simple questions and indicate that you want to be matched!
3. On Sunday, or as soon as we get 30 people in the match pool, we'll run our match program with our specially designed match algorithm.

Every two weeks we'll run the match program and match you with a like-minded author!

Hi, Leslie,

I didn't get the email, can you resend? I checked EVERYWHERE as gmail doesn't seem to know what it's doing anymore...

PS: A lot of our group does historicals -- I don't see that listed (or maybe the form's been cut off?)

Hi Leslie, I would love to join this critique partner program. I'll check if Savvy has sent me the email. If I have problems, can you help to enroll me in the mystery thriller genre?

 

[Lauren Watson]

Thanks for the instructions Leslie! I've opted in and saved it a few times. I was confused why I didn't see a message that read I saved successfully. Each time I click on save, the page refreshes. Can you verify that I've registered and am good to be matched with a crit partner?

 

[Lauren Watson]

Hi Leslie, I had to repeat the process today because it looks like my original updates to find a crit partner did not save. It's saved now.

 

[Lauren Watson]

I've also selected my genre's as mystery thriller and science fiction. I did not see paranormal. I also include romantic elements in my stories.

 

[Lauren Watson]

Cool! I'll check mark that now.

 

[Lauren Watson]

Leslie, Can I make more than one selection? I've marked Mystery, however my genre is Mystery Thriller with romantic and paranormal elements. Is there a free-text box that I can add these details?
