  Anyone interested in nature writing and other forms of essay?

  Just us chickens, Daniel. I think the best way is e-mail. Do you want to send me something first? khauswirth@sbcglobal.net. Please let me know the sort of feedback you are looking for--just overall impressions, or more in depth (ie, tracked changes in Word with any suggested corrections/rewords).

  Thanks,

  K

  Book blurbing

  I have had great luck with writing to authors with whom I feel a link and striking up an online acquaintance. For my recent book proposal, I reached out for several early endorsements, which read just like book blurbs. One was from an editor I knew pretty well, one was from an author I knew only moderately well from online correspondence, and one was from a stranger. I was delighted to find they were willing to look at a synopsis (or in one case, a proposal) and write something up. I think many authors are flattered to be asked, and it also helps build their own name (assuming what they endorse is a good read)! Of course, this might not apply to some really, really, big names who must get asked many times every day!

  Seeking someone to swap critiques

  I might be interested. Sounds like you write nonfiction?

  I only have one book proposal under my belt; have written a lot of queries for articles.

  Looking for a Writer's Group?

  Any CT members?

  I know there are probably not many, but if you live in CT or RI (near CT) I would love to get involved in a group. I live in Deep River and primarily write nonfiction (essays). Dabbling in poetry recently....
