For PB critiques
If you want to upload your PB ms, follow these steps:
1. Start a discussion in the Discussion Forum.
2. Name your discussion with the title and genre.
3. Fill in the required fields and select your file to upload.
4. Please upload your ms as a .pdf file (this is for your own protection and that of the people who will review and critique your work)
This is the PDF file creator that Georgia recommends. You simply "Print" your Word doc by selecting the PDF program listed (instead of your normal printer) and it will save as a PDF. There are plenty of others, including Cute PDF which she has also used for years.
Critiques - Reviewers should do their critiques in pdf or doc form and leave their critiques in the discussion area. This is for privacy. Remember that YALITCHAT RULES ON PLAGIARISM apply to this group. Click here to view the rules: YALITCHAT RULES
It is polite to offer critiques to others if you have uploaded something to be critiqued.
If you need any help, feel free to contact Group Moderator, Laura Chesterson.
