In January 1999, when Philosophy and Literature announced that Rhetoric professor Judith Butler had won its fourth annual Bad Writing Contest , nobody was much surprised. Many had pointed out the solecisms of Butler, runner-up Homi Bhabha, and previous awardees, and the abstract, twisting grandiloquence of critical theory with a progressive slant was already well known in academic circles. But the contest did have an unusual fate outside the academy. It became news. Philosophy and Literature editor Denis Dutton wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal February 5, 1999 ), a startling forum for the treatment of academic prose.

Hardcore Critique Guidelines by Amy Sterling Casil When we criticise work, we are commenting for the purposes of publishability, and our goal is to help authors to become publishable and published writers. For prose pieces, the following issues are critically important: Plot - does the action make sense? Is what is written moving the story forward? Sometimes, the pieces are too short or are fragments, so a complete plot analysis isn't possible. Most pieces can be judged within the first few sentences for effective plot beginnings, however. That's what editors do. Does the story start at the right place (the beginning?) Most stories by beginning writers start far too early - way before the key action takes place. Some, however, may start too far forward. These writers have taken the advice of "start with the action at full steam" too literally. Is the pacing appropriate to the story? Too fast? Too slow? Just right? Is the plot a real plot (a character, in context, with a problem)? Are things happening which seem to have no discernable reason or purpose? The ending: is the payoff adequate to the buildup? Does the ending make sense? Is it satisfying? Does it arise from character and situation or is it "deus ex machina," where the Cavalry suddenly comes riding in over the hill to save the hero and heroine? Most importantly: were the seeds of the ending sown in the beginning?

Home FAQs News Writing Courses ... For Faculty The Book Review or Article Critique: General Guidelines Printable PDF Version Fair-Use Policy An analytic or critical review of a book or article is not primarily a summary; rather, it comments on and evaluates the work in the light of specific issues and theoretical concerns in a course. (To help sharpen your analytical reading skills, see our file on Critical Reading .) The literature review puts together a set of such commentaries to map out the current range of positions on a topic; then the writer can define his or her own position in the rest of the paper. Keep questions like these in mind as you read, make notes, and write the review. What is the specific topic of the book or article? What overall purpose does it seem to have? For what readership is it written? (The preface, acknowledgements, bibliography and index can be helpful in answering these questions. Don't overlook facts about the author's background and the circumstances of the book's creation and publication.) Does the author state an explicit thesis? Does he or she noticeably have an axe to grind? What are the theoretical assumptions? Are they discussed explicitly? (Again, look for statements in the preface, etc. and follow them up in the rest of the work.)

You pour your energy and nine-tenths of your soul into a story. Night and day you wrestle with yourself over every page, every word at your keyboard, typewriter, or notepad. You are writing every day, aren't you? At last, you're finished!

97. Autobiographical Writing Projects And Resources For Senior Citizens - Writing Cr THE ART OF writing SHORT FICTION CRITIQUES. By Julien Ryner If I can work with a writer through a few critiques, I have the time and opportunity to http://www.seniorswriting.com/critique.htm

THE ART OF WRITING SHORT FICTION CRITIQUES By Julien Ryner The Value of a Critique As long as writers seek to narrow the discrepancy between what we want to say and what we actually say (as told to us by readers), we will always need a fresh pair of eyes for viewing our stories in process. Even experienced writers lose the long-view of a story when knee-deep in the text. An insightful critique can show us where and how we've missed the mark or how we can more accurately find the mark we initially intended to hit. Warning to Critiquers Even with their differences, all stories have elements in common that can be discussed, such as plot, characters, beginnings and endings, description, dialogue, and theme. But as we check off the effectiveness of these elements of storytelling, always in the forefront of my mind is the question, effective in whose terms? Surely not my terms but, rather, in terms of what the writer is trying to do. To critique stories, you must be willing to suspend judgment and enter the world the writer is attempting to create. You must be able to appreciate a wide variety of stories, even if you feel called to write a particular type. First Reading This is the reading that reveals whether the story works or not, whether it is all there and if there is balance to all of the story's elements. Whether or not a main character changes during the course of the story, can be best evaluated on this first pass.

HIRENET Book or Article Review or Critique Guidelines NOTE: Always check with your teacher to make sure you understand the specific requirements of any assignment. This handout contains general guidelines. Purpose The purpose of a review of a work (book or article) is generally to let readers know what the work is about and what its merits are so that readers can decide whether they want to read the work. Because the readers of a review probably have not read the work under discussion, you must describe the work as well as evaluate it. For a critique or critical review , readers may have read the work; therefore, you need to give less attention to description and summary but more attention to evaluation. Choosing a Work Sometimes your teacher assigns a particular book or article; however, your teacher may give you a list of works from which to choose or a broad field that you will have to narrow-first to a specific area and then to a specific work. If you are given a choice, try to find a work that interests you.
