Topic: Strongest Start

Sol, you might have covered this in the old site, but when do the judges for the entries start reviewing them? When they come in, or do they wait until the deadline and then start? The latter would make more sense, since it would allow for revisions based on reviewers' comments to be included in the final product.

Re: Strongest Start

Another question;  do they,are they reading from the point of view of the average TNBW reviewer? Do they want the separated paragraphs and 'review' layout that is normal for workshopping in TNBW?   As I have attempted to say in various ways; though good for review the format is not really like a 'published' format.  The two are read differently, story arcs and hooks are different. Are we who enter, trying for the best, reviewable series of chapters OR are we trying for the best first 3 chapters of a published novel?  I am sorry, but they are not the same thing.  Personally I would like to submit a separate file (.doc or .pdf even .mobi) that was my book submission for the competition - before deadline - and that was it.

He covered it...You can edit up until the deadline when the judging starts.
