Thank you all so much for your patience!

I was so excited to see all of the really thoughtful and constructive feedback that was shared in the last critique period. I hope everyone found it useful, and is enjoying the chance to chat with other authors.

A huge welcome to ElizabethEnglish and MusicalDiamond who are joining us for their first round. We hope you enjoy it here.

Just a quick recap of the rules:

1. Read your Critique Buddy's UNITE Reads page to see what they would like feedback on and learn a little more about their novel.

2. Read your Critique Buddy's novel. If you're in the mood, drop comments and votes as you go. Show their work lots of love and appreciation. Try and read as much as you can; remember, you want to make sure you get a good feel for your Buddy's novel before answering the questions. Also- last, but not least- be constructive.

3. Complete the UNITE Reads 'Critique Form' for your assigned read, and then post it as a comment on your Critique Buddy's UNITE Reads page by the 1st of February.

NOTE: If you have any questions, or you're going to need more time, please feel free to message me or your Critique Buddy. Also, if you both find that the one Critique Period wasn't enough, send me a message and we can either extend the pairing into the next round or come back to it later.

If I have messed anything up or left anyone out, please let me know and I will fix it. And, as always, happy reading :)
