One of the women in my writing critique group has published two fiction novels and one nonfiction and is working on her third fiction. The fiction novels are a series. Prior to this she was a professional and thinking about retiring. Now she spends time writing and promoting her books. And yes, her advance was tiny and she hardly makes anything.

Just curious if you belong to a critique group?
