What people are saying about C LIU’s free-tiques….
“You critiqued three chapters of my mg story… and your critique was one of the things that inspired me to work on this story last year …Fast forward to this year. I finished the story, sent it to my agent, who sold the story to Roaring Brook Press!”
“If you haven’t experienced the love that is a Liu-tique, you’re missing out! This woman is amazing. Really. I told her she should be charging top coinage for her sage-iness. Hop on board, people! You won’t regret it.”
“I proposed marriage to her after my critique. Sadly we are both already married and heterosexual. But I am her slave for life.”
“Well… I could go for a stiff drink right about now. Thank you very much for going through it so thoroughly. You rock, you do…”
“I got one of her critiques last night for the first time, & it was fantastic! SO helpful, and plenty of insights I hadn’t thought of! Not only that, but it was probably the FASTEST critique I’ve ever gotten…This was a manuscript I’d pretty much given up on, & now I have ideas for breathing life into it…Yippee for cynthea!”
“Warning to others: Not only does Cynthea look good, but she’s scary good with her editing pen too. And trust me, I saw plenty of her red ink on my chapter. Ouch, I’ve seen less red on episodes of E.R…”
Once you get past the initial thought that she absolutely hates everything after “Chapter 1″, you’ll start to realize she really knows what she’s doing. I haven’t actually gotten past that point yet, but I’m sure within the next 48 hours …”
“As for the critique: I spent most of the time either screaming out “Yes! Yes! Yes! That is exactly what I meant but I couldn’t figure
out how to get it out right! How did she know?” and reading in wonderment as you cut through my drivel to the real soul of the scene…”
“I have to give a shout out to Cynthea who showed me the light with her critique of my first chapter on my WIP. I’ve already said it in e-mail, but thank you, Cynthea.”
