All writers, any genre are invited.

Writing Assignment:  Last month members read their thought on How They Write.  These proved to be most interesting and thoughtful.  The subject this month is “Critique”.  You have a new work almost ready for publication.  Given a free choice, who would you pick to do the final critique?  Why?
