Allegra Huston’s excerpt from her book How to Works With a Writer is available on Jane Friedman’s website. I liked the post so much I bought the book.

It is not just for editors, though it is primarily for them.

It is also for folks who have been asked to read and give critiques. It’s for all you wonderful folks who have agreed to read my work and give me feedback. It’s for me in a critique group.

Praise and questions help the writer improve their writing… Read how.
