So, that is a lot of chatter and not much practical information. Let me remedy that now:

1. Each Critique Period lasts two weeks.

2. You will be assigned a new Critique Buddy for each Critique Period (unless otherwise requested)

3. During the Critique Period, you should read as many chapters of your Buddy's novel as you can. I am not going to specify numbers, because each story, reader, and author is different, please just be sure to respect the effort others put into this process. Also, if you are going to critique, you need to make sure you have read enough to get a good gauge of what is going on in the story.

4. At the end of each Critique Period you will fill out the 'Critique Form' (you can find this in the following chapter) and post it as a comment on your Critique Buddy's 'UNITE Reads:' page.

5. That's it for the round! If you have any requests or would like to take a break or extension, please contact @LivEvansWrites
