If Jane Austen Got Feedback From Some Guy In A Writing Workshop
Dear Jane,
I don’t usually read chick lit, but I didn’t hate reading this draft of your novel, which you’re calling Pride and Prejudice. I really liked the part where Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle went on a road trip, which reminded me of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales (also about a road trip — check it out!). Anyway, good job. I do have a couple of notes to share, in the spirit of constructive criticism.

This was funny. 🙂 And I agree, everyone is treating Kitty badly.
A very fitting quote…
“Oh! I am delighted with the book! I should like to spend my whole life in reading it.”
Jane Austen (Northanger Abbey)
Quote from Jane Austen

Improving the mind…
“And of course she must improve her mind by extensive reading.”
– Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Quote by Jane Austen
The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.
