What is proper e-mail etiquette for a critique group?
• Always paste your story into the body of the e-mail. Do not send your story as an attached document. • Use “Reply All” when critiquing a story. All members of a critique group benefit from hearing members’ thoughts, opinions and suggestions. • ALL CAPS is considered yelling in e-mail etiquette. (It makes me flinch whenever I see it.) Try to use a different colored font, italics, underlining, bolding, or other method to incorporate your comments into the body of the story text. • It’s good to keep a file on your e-mail to store all of your feedback from this critique group. It’s probably a good idea to print out the critiques you receive so that you can refer to them as you’re writing.
