The following are proposed norms for people submitting to Critique and Feedback Sessions.
- If this is your first submission, Ignore All Rules. Your first submission gives us a chance to get to know you better. The collective is experienced in responding to work in a wide range of states: we'll find useful responses to anything you send.
- If this is not your first submission, please consider the following operative norms:
- What type of work should you send, and at what stage?
- Research proposals or outlines are encouraged.
- Early-stage projects benefit from the broad range of expertise we represent; submitting them to C+F can help you with your thinking about what direction to take.
- Late-stage projects that are already as good as you can make them may benefit from the "blind spot" detection that a diverse audience offers -- but if you won't be making many changes regardless of what reviewers find because you're close to a deadline, be clear about this.
- What size work is considered reasonable? Please consider a maximum of about 5000 words; if your work is longer, offer a guide to reading just the parts you think would most benefit from broad collective feedback.
- The basic rule: C+F is your chance to tap a shared pool of reviewer resources. Be judicious in your consumption of this CPR.
