UPDATE: See ALL of our CP Match Ups HERE!
It’s a new year AND a new decade! Wheee!
A great way to start a new year/decade is to take a step closer to your writing goals. And the best way to be a good writer is to…well it’s to write. second best way (that we know of) is to make new connections/writer friends!
We all met up through various Critique Partner (CP) match-up posts like the one hosted by the amazing Susan Dennard. So we love blog-hosted critique partner match ups. Our CP Match up in 2018 and our CP Match up in 2019 had a lot of people in the comment with their amazing projects! And we hope to continue paying it forward by providing a fresh forum in 2020 for people to seek out CPs.
Just in case you’re asking, “What is a Critique Partner (CP)?”
A CP is another writer who you share your writing with so you can both give useful critique to make each other’s writing/stories better! You often do this at every point in the writing journey! Lots of already published and huge authors still have CPs!
Okay, onto the match up!
STEP ONE: Write a comment on this post.
In the comment please include:
NAME
AGE CATEGORY(IES) YOU WRITE IN (YA/MG/A/PB)
GENRE(S) YOU WRITE IN (Sci Fi, Fantasy, Contemporary, Horror, etc)
PROJECT PITCH (Twitter size ~280 characters)
WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR IN A CP (keep it short, about 1-2 lines)
CONTACT INFO
STEP TWO: If someone’s manuscript sounds like something you’d like to read, send them a quick message about swapping pages.
Once you both agree that you’d like to swap, we suggest swapping either first 3 chapters or first 50 pages (whichever you agree is better). This is the “trial period” where you see if you actually do like each other’s writing AND if you like each other’s critique style. If you want to be on top of it, we suggest telling the other person what kind of notes you like to receive too. But if this is one of your first times critiquing, that’s fine too! This is all about finding someone to learn and grow with!
NOTE: Feel free to reply to each other in the comments as a way to initiate contact, but please do NOT post critiques in the comments section. Please exchange critiques via whatever outside method you’ve agreed upon with each other.
STEP THREE: Send critique notes and decide what kind of critique relationship you’d like to have!
So, there are many ways to critique. You could do a full manuscript swap. You can do it chunks at a time. It’s really up to you and your new critique partner, so after you get that initial 50 pages or so back, make a plan for what fits you both best!
If, for some reason you don’t like the other person’s notes or you just don’t think things will work out (for whatever reason), then you should be open about it and part ways with no hard feelings. Sometimes, people’s creative visions just don’t sync up.
As a bonus, here are a few resources about being a critique partner:
Meg’s post on Giving Constructive Feedback
Kat’s video on 5 tips for being a good CP
And our first ever post that’s just full of CP Love and advice
Feel free to still peruse the projects on our CP Match up in 2019
Good luck and happy critiquing!!
NOTE: While we love hearing about other people’s stories, the WBP contributors are not looking to add any more CPs to our critique group. But we love the idea of having a post that can help other people find each other because other CP match up posts are how many of us met!

PROJECT PITCH (Twitter size ~280 characters): My novel is set in a bleak, inhospitable desert world, a place where even the concept of heroism cannot exist. A trio of amoral misfits are thrust together by happenstance and scour the desolate wastes in a fruitless quest for purpose, desperately seeking meaning in a place devoid of it. The band includes a grotesque hunchback physiologically altered to speak only the truth, a disenfranchised noblewoman from a brutal theocracy who has transformed herself into a relentless warrior, and a one-handed boy with self-inflicted amnesia and the ability to speak a language of ancient and ineffable powers. Together they navigate a multitude of dangers both external and internal, and seek to find some measure of solace in a world without hope or respite.

Project Pitch: Dark dots, like a sun in eclipse, bloom upon the skin of powerful mages. They are the symbol of Nebula, the goddess of darkness, and are interpreted as signs of the darkness within. Nebula is warning us, they say.
The marked are discriminated against, oppressed, loathed.
Feared.
Then a woman rises. She asks her people that if they are marked for darkness, why run from their destiny when it can be embraced?
They fight. They become the murderers they were always thought to be. They run rampant through their island home.
All, the unmarked believe, is lost.
Then a boy is marked.
Not by Nebula, but by Nova, the goddess of light.
Instead of a sun in eclipse, a scarlet star burns on his forehead.
He is welcomed. Embraced. Revered.
The one true hope, they say.
But is he?
Because the murders are proving this hope to be false.
What I’m Looking For In a CP: A reliable partner with ruthless (but constructive) feedback.

Pitch: The Nguyen family’s magic stems from emotion, and 14-year-old Michel’s magical trigger is emotional pain. Needless to say, he has never felt his magic and has distanced himself from his family’s practice room in the basement and ignored even the slightest mention of magic, focusing instead on being good to other people which his parents say is equally as important as magic. But this year as a freshman in high school, with teachers presenting more painful and shocking topics, his magic is flaring, and someone not is not his sister seems to know about it. The week of Thanksgiving break, Michel decides to confront Addae, the boy in his English class, and finds out that Addae not only knows about his magic but also was there when Michel’s cousin Ophelie died from poison three years ago. Michel is now determined to find out all he can about Ophelie—without drawing attention from his family of course—but both his and Addae’s magic is uncontrolled which leads to an accident the day before Christmas vacation that burns Michel’s eyes and knocks him unconscious.
When he wakes, he discovers that not only can he no longer see, but he has landed in a makeshift hospital room inside of a complex controlled by his family’s biggest enemies—the Andersons—who kicks his mother out almost immediately after he wakes. Alone except for his sister who is there to take care of him and trapped in a school controlled by people neither of them know anything about, Michel struggles to adjust to life without sight. And yet, under all this pain, something he had never dreamed of happens. His magic activates, and remains open to him, especially after he reconnect with Addae who turns out to be a reservoir of emotional pain. Now Michel has to struggle between hurting his only friend to get the power he never knew he wanted, and remaining on the morals he had worked so hard to maintained.
In other words, he struggles not to become a villain.

I write contemporary YA, usually heavy on romance but not just light fluffy romance, and usually with LGBT characters. My current project is lighter on the romance and heavier on the LGBT. It’s about a girl who thinks she might be gay so she sneaks into a small gay bar, but there’s a shooting and she’s the only survivor. So now she’s dealing with grief and survivor’s guilt on top of coming out, and she decides to learn about each of the victims and do something to honor each of them and help out their families and friends. Hearing each of their stories is what ends up giving her the courage to come out.

Her grandmother’s dreams of her giving up dragon riding and settling down to have babies and manage a house are NOT her idea of a fulfilling life. Neither is her sister’s zealous following of a new cult.
Morgan was conscripted into his city-state’s military Dragon Corps when he accidentally bonded with a hatchling.

In a lush Young Adult fantasy, Karda, the fierce and ruthless warrior prophesied to save her people, has a distinct plan.
Step One: Overthrow the Rottajarl with an uprising he never sees coming.
Step Two: Help rebuild their lives.
Step Three: Live the remainder of her life ensuring her people have peace.
All without waiting on the gods to save them.
When a warrior appears out of the air as the Rottajarl is defeated, Karda should have suspected her plans were beginning to go awry. Aslak, a charming and fierce warrior in his own right, is doggedly determined to counsel Karda, following her and her companion Sigrun on their unexpected journey, even as she rejects his every plan. Magic, a long dead element in their land, springs forth whenever Aslak is near and stirs something inside Karda herself.
A journey across the great sea lands Karda in a realm beyond her wildest imaginings where magical delights overwhelm the senses. Vivienne’s court sparkles with beauty and grace, but darkness lurks in the corners. Can Karda uncover the truth behind the magical façade before it is too late?

What would you do for the people you care about?
Some might say anything. Other’s will have a specific stopping point, a point where morally they will not continue on. For Gray, this question was harder to answer. He was loyal to a fault always sticking by the sides of those he cared for, yet his fear often stopped him from achieving what he could achieve. This, of course, was until a phone call. Before Gray knows it the lady he takes care of is dragging him into the greatest adventure of his life, but this journey is not easy and Gray has no idea what he’s getting himself into.
