I actually just had this happen to me. I ended up leaving the group b/c of the way they went about it (behind closed doors so I couldn't defend myself or allow others input. That's not how I roll so I left.)

I expected their writing to be stellar, I mean, up there w/ my editor's writing, since they were editors/writers ripping my work apart. (And they insulted my editor in the process saying they could help me better than her essentially.) I couldn't finish one and had a hard time finishing the second. This makes me very leery to try and read the works of writer/editors 3 and 4.

The next week I had a bunch of people want to read my books, so that made me feel better.

I don't know what they think about their writing (one said it isn't her best, okay then) but man, it felt very... pretentious. They tossed around the word professional a lot. You can edit better than my editor but don't apply that to your own writing. Sure then. So much for what could have been a good thing.

I didn't ask for an editorial critique. I didn't even expect it. That's not what I signed up for.

It felt like they were looking for a client instead of talking to me about my voice, style, and writing experience. (20+ years, my voice/style is consistent/deliberate choice.) Thus, out of left field to me that they came at it from that criteria rather than the "reader hat" that was implied.
