Workshopping 101
Posted by Ron Hayes in Feedback: Giving and Receiving, Relationships In Writing, Ron, The Craft Of Writing, The Writer's Community on September 13, 2015
by Ron Hayes Full disclosure: I’m a snob. A HUGE snob. When it comes to writing (and poetry in particular), I chafe quickly and easily when bad verse is foisted onto an unsuspecting reader—especially when that reader is me.
