Welcome to CaRWA's Quick Crits, a service for CaRWA members provided by CaRWA members.
Send out your best work by submitting your polished proposal or first chapter to Quick Crits for a final read before entering it in a contest or sending it to an editor. You remain anonymous and the Quick Crit turnaround is two weeks or less.
How it Works
To receive a Quick Crit, just volunteer as a Quick Crit reader. It will only take a few minutes to fill out a questionnaire and return a signed Quick Crit Agreement to CaRWA. Find the forms in the Member's Only section of the web site.
Become familiar with the specific Quick Crit guidelines so when you are asked to read for another member, you can provide the same great service you expect to receive.
Email your thirty page (ordinary contest) or your ninety page (Golden Heart, Editor/Agent requested partial) .doc submission to the Quick Crit Coordinator with the completed Quick Crit Request Form. Remember to omit personal identifying information from your manuscript.
The Quick Crit Co-ordinator will match your submission with the best possible reader, who will provide the type of feedback you request.
