There'll be 2-3 judges per genre depending on how many judges apply and how many books they're willing to read. As soon as a genre fills up or it reaches September 5th, I'll tell you what books to judge and you can begin. You must then read 5 chapters for novels, 2 chapters for short stories and 3 poems for poetry at least. It would be great if you could read more, but this is the minimum. You'll then have until 20th September to send me your results. Please send the entire scorecard.

Short review: your characters were well developed and your blurb was intriguing. However there were a lot of typos which made it hard to read and the cover is a bit plain.

Do something similar to this for all the books you're judging.

I hope this clears up any questions! And there's no need to judge for the special categories, because I'll be doing that.
