Interesting name anyway!
|
Em_J
|
Yeah bit weird! And did you see it says they're gonna post critique with the story and the author has no control over it!
|
April_Rose
|
That sounds a bit scary...I mean, I suppose you could get bad reviews too, with anything, but it seems counter productive for them to publsh critique....
|
Em_J
|
It's odd, don't know why they're doing that.
|
April_Rose
|
Yeah...It doesn't make sense to me, but I suppose they have a reason for doing it...
|
Em_J
|
I was going to submit something to them but that put me off.
|
April_Rose
|
Yeah, it sounds a bit off-putting to me too!
|
Em_J
|
It kinda makes me think they'll publish something crap just so they can pick it apart and say 'this is what you don't do...' Maybe I'm just being paranoid.
|
April_Rose
|
It would be horrible if they did that!  They also talk about book-club questions though so maybe it's just for the purpose of helping people analyse their writing...but still, something about it doesn't sit right with me. If they had some kind of example on the site it might help...

I think it's the bit where it says authors have no control that I don't like.
|
April_Rose
|
Yeah, there's just something wrong in the attitude.
