Yes, to add to Meredith's advice, which I would take in a heartbeat considering that she is eloquent as well, I will add that you can find on-line writing critique circles. Sure, face time is nice, but not always feasible. I think there was once a critique group here. I facilitated a writer's group in my home. Only I forbid the word "critique" and we called it "evaluations."
Also EW read the type of book you are writing. What is your genre? If it's memoir, read memoir, if it's fantasy, read fantasy. Come to the states and go to the Vermont College Writer's Conference with me!
