PB Peer Critiques - September 2020 • Last activity 08/Jan

This is a single-submission peer critique group for picture book manuscripts. The group lasts for the length of the event, and then will be dissolved. Picture book writers submit 1 manuscript at the start of the event, then exchange critiques of one another’s work. Fiction submissions should be under 1,000 words; nonfiction submissions should be under 1,500 words. Manuscripts can be a fairly polished story you are about to submit, or an early draft in need of some brainstorming, or at any stage in between. Each group member critiques all the manuscripts posted (except, of course, their own). Depending on the group size, you will be responsible for critiquing 3-7 manuscripts. We will have 2 weeks to critique each others' stories.
