FOR EVERYONE: At a bare minimum, a review should express what you thought

of the piece. A review needs to be more than one word or one or two sentences
saying "Good" or "I really enjoyed this story" or "I think this is good, but I think it
needs to be longer." These are not acceptable reviews. As a general guide, a
review should probably be at least 100 words. There's no maximum length, and
I’ve seen some reviews that are actually longer than the piece being reviewed
Use the four principles of critiquing. If you're new to critiquing, start small and
keep your reviews short but as informative as possible.
1. Begin with something positive and encouraging.
2. What do you feel is working and what is strong in the piece?
3. What needs work and what parts are weak?
