Hello, critics! How're you all doing?
          	
          	As you all can see, things are running rather slow around here. A lot of this has to do with the upcoming move to the new forums. So, if you don't get many requests, don't be disheartened. Hopefully things will start picking up soon once the move is complete. 
          	
          	I've also posted a thread for our critiquing service in the new forums. To keep the thread active, I'll be introducing one critic per week on there. If you've joined the new forums, you can find the thread here:

          	If any of you have any other ideas for how we can get more writers to see our service, don't be hesitant to share them with me. You can comment below or you can PM me on my personal account (@messyfirstdraft) as that's where I am most active. 
          	
          	Hope to hear from you all soon.

@AnnikaWhen Great! Thanks for responding. Also, are you on the new forums yet? I'd recommend everyone to join because the move is going to happen sooner or later.

Hi, everyone! Good news!
          
          A Writer's Desk Critiques is back in business! :D
          
          Yes, for now, there's only two critics but more are joining soon. And more are being hired as well. Hopefully, we will be back to our full capacity soon. Stay tuned!

Hey, everyone! 
          
          This is Shagun (@messyfirstdraft ), the creator of A Writer's Desk. 
          
          I created this account two years ago with an aim to help writers like myself. However, the same year, I started my post graduation and after a while, I couldn't keep up with this account. I had to even take a hiatus from writing altogether. It got just that busy.
          
          I assigned admins to manage the account in my absence but over time, they got busy too. They reached out to me; many of the staff here did. I did my best to respond to everyone but because I couldn't keep up, ultimately this account became dead. And I'm very sorry for it. 
          
          Now though, I am back! I know I'll be able to dedicate at least a few hours to manage this account every week, so I'm going to start the services here again. I have a lot of messages to respond to and sadly, won't be able to answer each one. But know this, I've read them all. And I know, this account is a complete mess right now.
          
          So here's what's going to happen:
          
          I'm going to clean this profile up a bit. Give it a new look, maybe.
          Change the system so services are easier to navigate for everyone. 
          Hire new staff.
          And hopefully, start new services once we're back full force.
          
          I'll be doing this through July and half of August because I'm busy at the end of July. I'm going to put the hiring process in place so we can get new applications for staff while I'm away and I'll make the hirings when I've returned.
          
          I'll be posting updates in the comments below so anyone looking to follow the updates can keep track of it all in one thread. 
          
          That's all for now, people. We should be up and running soon! 
          
          While you wait, I do have one exciting news:
          "A Writer's Desk News"
          Link: https://www.wattpad.com/story/154633749-a-writer%27s-desk-news
          
          It's going to be a hub of interesting opportunities for writers. You can read about it in the comments below.
          
          Thanks for sticking with us.
          Regards, 
          Shagun Singhal
