April/May review group plan

Split into 2 groups:

Group 1
NMWrtermom
Ann Walters
TessB

Group 2
Maryapryl
Penang
Susan Stec
Ceridwen (still not sure if she is going to join us)

Pick one work that you want reviewed. I will set up not only individual threads for each book being reviewed, but also a group thread so your group can have conversations about how your review schedule is going. Because we all have different numbers of chapters posted and do have lives outside of writing (at least I hope we do!) I think we should just use a chapter by chapter schedule. Get reviewed, review in return. Or at least as much as possible, since I know some of us like to review in chunks.

I think that we should try to make sure that with each of our group mates we have the posted chapters for the work completely reviewed by the end of May. At the end of May we can see if we need to switch the groups up (if all novels are completely posted and reviewed) or if we need to stick with the groups in order to allow people to finish posting and reviewing.

Does this seem manageable? Any other thoughts or suggestions?

***Please also leave a comment in this thread with the title of your work that you are asking to be reviewed and I will set up the individual threads.

Re: April/May review group plan

Ang, it sounds very doable.  Though I think i have most of yours done and I'm working on Ann's horses atm.  I may have her completed in a day or so.

My work:  The Orphanage (title to be revised soon).

Re: April/May review group plan

April, hopefully I'll have Lair completely posted within the next month. I'm so far behind on everyone, but I've been feeling motivated. We can move up the timeline and see where everyone is at the end of April and go from there.

Count me in.  I have only one YA up.  I've been working on The Orphanage already, but haven't worked anyone else's.  Let me know who and the title.

Re: April/May review group plan

Hey Ang,

I'll review Ann and Sheree, however as I'm posting all the tweeks etc to Timesurfers and then posting the last few chapters they might want to hold off on looking at it until the next round. They've both read and reviewed most the loaded chapters, a few times in the case of Ann. smile I owe them some reciprocal reveiws anyway.

That way I wont crumble under the stress of getting all the edits and the last chapters up while contending with school holidays that have just started and will be upon me for most of April. I do love my kids, sometimes more whe they are at school.

Happy Easter everyone!

Re: April/May review group plan

Sounds good to me as well. I'll go with The Other F Word.

I think the only person i am not reviewing already is Ceridwen. I'll check it out beginning of the week. 

Working on Orphanage if that's good for you,  Apryl
Ang where do you want me?
Ann i'll still swap you reviews, if you wish, since I'm really into those winged horses.

Re: April/May review group plan

Awesome! So great to have this thread alive again. I'm working on In the Winds of Danger. A few of you have started it, but I'm rethinking the beginning so I'll be republishing. I'm disabling what is there tonight, and should be posting a few tonight and tomorrow morning (in between Easter bunny arrival and Massive Family Chocolate Consumption) so you'll have something to get started with.

Re: April/May review group plan

Discussion threads are set up. Your individual thread is where you can tell your group what you are specifically needing reviews on. I did mine as an example. There is also a sticky still up from previous review groups and I'm leaving that stickied, because I think there are some really great suggestions for indepth reviewing if you're interested.

Re: April/May review group plan

Thought I'd see where we're all at. I know for some of us this is a pretty busy time of year. Does anyone need a new thread or link to their book set up? Has anyone dropped off the face of the earth and need their stuff unstickied?

Re: April/May review group plan

Ang, several in the group are reviewing Dead Girls. If you think I need another thread you can put it up or they can comment in The Other F Word. No problem either way for me.
