Peer Critique Websites
By Richard Grayling
There are a number of different 'peer-critique' websites and each of them have a slightly different way of working.
[We have focused on a few based in the UK but their members are from all over the world].
Sponsored by the British Arts Council and working in partnership with Legend Press, the You Write On website is a credit based system where you earn a critique of your own work each time you critique someone elses.
They operate a 'Top Ten' system where the highest rated authors can earn a professional critique and even a publishing deal.
A community site for writers, readers and publishers, Authonomy was conceived by the editors at Harper Collins. It's easy to join and you can choose to be just a reader or upload some of your own work for peer critique.
A social and critique site in conjunction with Night Publishing. You can find out more about them in our interview with Tim Roux > here
