It is said that every professional writer was once an amateur who just refused to quit. If that sounds like you, welcome to ticket2write, an international community of professional writers united to provide a place to critique, encourage and help each other. Writers and poets in every market, and of every genre, are welcome to participate. Members are requested to provide at least two critiques for each piece they post. Remember to critique as you would like to be critiqued. Provide more than an opinion - offer advice which will help the writer or poet improve. New members are advised to observe the critique process before posting their work here. This group is not about "positive affirmations." It is about providing objective opinions and offering advice writers can use to improve their work.

“Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.” ~ C.S. Lewis
