Here's the procedure. Email me at marcia at marciahoehne dot com:
- The first 1000 words of your magazine story, chapter book, mid-grade novel, or YA novel pasted into the body of the email.
- Be sure to tell me the genre of the material (one of the above four).
- Put "(Month) critique winner" in the subject line.
- The deadline to submit your ms. for critique will be the DAY BEFORE the next month's critique contest begins. Critique contests always begin on the third Thursday. Therefore I must hear from the May winners by June 16.
- When I receive your email, I'll acknowledge receipt and let you know when you can expect my response.

Thanks Marcia. Wow! I have a couple stories I'm working on that I'd love feedback on. I'll have to decide and get back to you! Thanks. :)
You're welcome, Laura. I'll look forward to hearing from you.
I'm going to enter the June one -- the work doesn't have to be complete, right?
Great, Anne! Correct -- all you need is the first 1000 words. :)
Wow, thank you so much, Marcia. I'll be sending you mine in the next day or two.
congratulations winners!
Congrats to the winners! Great contest, Marcia--feedback is always so valueable. :)

Blee Bonn -- You're welcome, and I'm sorry for mangling your name! The post has been edited to correct.
Terry Lynn and Angela, thank you. Feedback IS so helpful.
I love my crit group, but it's so great to get an unvarnished opinion from someone who has never seen anything you've written!
Marcia, I think I'm just totally missing it, but I can't find your email on your blog. Could you send it to me. laurapauling at yahoo.com
Um, nevermind. I found it right in the post. :)
