Ok well some time ago now I found these links and had them posted up around the forum in appropriate areas. I felt that I would post them up here so that everyone could find them more easily. These links take you to various sites that I have come across that give some ideas and information on critique. It gives basic over views of how one can offer critique to various different areas of writing. I hope to add to this rather small list as time goes on. Also if anyone else has any sites or links they can add to this list feel free to do so. On the provisor that they are to sites where it holds information on critique. Hardcore Critique Guidelines - for short stories and novels. http://www.poetrymagic.co.uk/critiquing.html - for poetry http://songwriting.songstuff.com/articles.php?selected=136 - for lyrics Hope that these sites can be of help to someone. Thank you kindly Torana
