News

Everybody seemed to like the idea of having three reviews per week until we work off some of the backlog, but only with a 4,000 word limit per submission.  Please check the schedule as juggled around for this purpose, to see that you are okay with your current assignment.

The need to break chapters to stay near or under 4000 words is going to be a recurring problem for some people, and that doesn’t allow for best critiques.   We may have to start allocating words, not just slots.  If you need more than 4000, we can try to borrow from other submitters who have shorter pieces.

Victories

Dylan got an updated blurbs for his books and is ordering a proof of the Sand & Blood cover.
