Hardcore Critique Guidelines by Amy Sterling Casil When we criticise work, we are commenting for the purposes of publishability, and our goal is to help authors to become publishable and published writers. For prose pieces, the following issues are critically important: Plot - does the action make sense? Is what is written moving the story forward? Sometimes, the pieces are too short or are fragments, so a complete plot analysis isn't possible. Most pieces can be judged within the first few sentences for effective plot beginnings, however. That's what editors do. Does the story start at the right place (the beginning?) Most stories by beginning writers start far too early - way before the key action takes place. Some, however, may start too far forward. These writers have taken the advice of "start with the action at full steam" too literally. Is the pacing appropriate to the story? Too fast? Too slow? Just right? Is the plot a real plot (a character, in context, with a problem)? Are things happening which seem to have no discernable reason or purpose? The ending: is the payoff adequate to the buildup? Does the ending make sense? Is it satisfying? Does it arise from character and situation or is it "deus ex machina," where the Cavalry suddenly comes riding in over the hill to save the hero and heroine? Most importantly: were the seeds of the ending sown in the beginning?

Harper: Writing Groups and Critiques Do I recommend that new writers join writing groups? Writing-group members as editors Taking critique "This book fills a much-needed gap. " - Moses Hadas (1900-1966) in a review Do I Recommend that New Writers Join Writing Groups? D epends. There are lots of reasons people want to be in a writing group. Some people want a friendly, supportive atmosphere which will help them build the self-confidence to continue writing or to try getting published. A writing group can help with this. Some people need for someone else to set their deadlines, so that they can complete projects they would otherwise put off or abandon. Writing groups can be structured to do this. Some people want a test group of readers on which to try out their stories. A writing group certainly provides this. However, some people want professional-level critique and editing to help them prepare a manuscript for publishing. I have not personally seen or read about any writing groups which offer this service to their members.

Writing Center at TCC Self-help Handouts Writing Guidelines Book or Article Review or Critique Guidelines NOTE: Always check with your teacher to make sure you understand the specific requirements of any assignment. This handout contains general guidelines. Purpose The purpose of a review of a work (book or article) is generally to let readers know what the work is about and what its merits are so that readers can decide whether they want to read the work. Because the readers of a review probably have not read the work under discussion, you must describe the work as well as evaluate it. For a critique or critical review , readers may have read the work; therefore, you need to give less attention to description and summary but more attention to evaluation. Choosing a Work Sometimes your teacher assigns a particular book or article; however, your teacher may give you a list of works from which to choose or a broad field that you will have to narrow-first to a specific area and then to a specific work. If you are given a choice, try to find a work that interests you. 1. Ask someone whose judgment you trust to recommend a work or try to find a work by an authority who is respected in the field. Your textbook may contain a helpful bibliography.
