1.      Submissions for critique, turn in 10 pages or less.

2.    Only use approved typefaces: Times New Roman,     Georgia, or Merriweather.

3.    Paper copies must be double space. Data files need to be line spaced no less than 1.25 in Word.

4.   Only submit Word files or Google Docs files.

5.    When you don’t like the critique, you get back; wad it up and wait two days before you read it again. It might make more sense later. If not, throw it away.

6.   Never settle for anything less than the third draft. That goes for submissions, too.

7.    When writing a story, there’s more than one way to do everything!

8.   When you write yourself into a corner…rule number 7 will help.

9.    Never, Ever Quit!
