The Critique Saloon is the only section in the forum where it's really expected to give & receive in-depth constructive criticism for your written works.

What this means is that you may post your poetry expecting to get in depth critique - more personal ideas, suggestions, and comments on how to improve your writing for publication endeavors. The in-depth critique may not be the prettiest commentary you've ever had on your writing. The goal here is to not provide flattery, but to provide you with invaluable suggestions that may make your work powerfully improved, more concisely written & much more publishable than it was when 1st posted.



A few ground rules for posting in the JPiC Critique Saloon:

• Only post in this section if you have advice/critique to give to the other writers OR want ideas for improving your own pieces.
  
  
• When posting a work for critique - please clearly mark FOR CRITIQUE in bold letters at the top of the page, along with a brief (but specific) description of what help is needed.
  
  
• No one-word comments in this section please - Critique the poem and offer ideas for improvement
  
  
• Do NOT post in this section if your skin is not thick enough to accept IN-DEPTH CRITIQUE of your writing, which may include punctuation & spelling correction, phrasing & stanza suggestions, and other constructive critique commentary. If you cannot handle the criticism - Find a more appropriate section for your work.
  
  
• Comment whilst offering suggestions you think may improve the writers' work
  
  
• Have fun being creative and helping out your poetic peer!

Thanx and Happy posting.

Jacquii.
