The Writers Block

Hello All

Just a reminder to new members and to longer standing members as well, that we do expect you to keep up a reasonable ratio of number of substantive critiques of other poets' work when you post your own work for critique. In other words, any one poet who posts here should be expected to post at least two critiques for every poem posted. That is respectful and the "dues" you can expect to pay for the free membership that this forum provides. Thanks for keeping to that ratio. If anyone has questions about this policy, requires clarification, or has recommendations on the critique to posting ratio, please feel free to contact me.

Best regards

Chris George, Moderator

In my living memory it has always been ratio 3:1 please

Hello AnnMarie

Certainly three to one is okay as well, although I am not sure that it has ever been written policy that it has to be that specific ratio. I welcome being corrected that it has ever been specified that it has to be 3:1.

Hi David

Thanks, David. As you see it's a matter of give and take, or "if you giveth" you will "receiveth" which as far as I can see, is only fair. Thanks for doing your share of reviews, David.

hi whilst i think this is a good policy i would like to state that i have always been hesitant in giving my views. surely if you are serious abt your poetry and seek to publish then surely those who have been published/those who have a really good grasp of this means of communication are the critiques to be listened to? Let others like myself perhaps read and learn and gain some credentials first?
