I’m a college student and right now I’m in a creative writitng class. We have 3 opportunities over the course of the term to submit writing to the rest of the class for workshop. I’ve used my workshops to test out the first 3 chapters of the novel I’m working on, and I’ve gotten really great feedback! My classmates and prof. enjoy reading it, and my prof. thinks it has a lot of potential to be a very appealing YA novel. This encouragement is so lovely, especially since this is a concept I’ve been working on for over two years now (!). It’s nice to hear that there’s a potential audience for this thing I’ve been slaving away over.
