Edit Demon Guidelines

*Encouragement is our key word. We must be committed to improvement in the art and craft of writing, while always encouraging the love of writing.

*We ask for a commitment to either check in online or attend the meeting, whether or not your submission is being reviewed. If we become back logged, priority will be given to regular attendees over drop ins (although all are welcome).

*We are all expected to give and receive honest, constructive feedback in a respectful and supportive manner. When in doubt, remember the key word. Or refer to Will Wheaton's Law. That works too.

*We recognize that we are a diverse group and will critique the work rather than the author, style, or genre. We all have our own preferences and biases and should keep those in mind as we critique. As we are all at different experience levels, we will critique based on the experience of the author submitting while remembering the key word.

*Some members may be under 18 or prefer not to read certain genres. If you are submitting something that may not be appropriate for all (erotica, horror, etc.), please identify this clearly. No one will be asked to read or critique something with which they are uncomfortable and we will refrain from commenting on others personal preferences in this matter.

*Non-submitting members are welcome to attend and/or participate but will be expected to abide by these guidelines as well. Remember that key word I keep mentioning? Yeah, that applies to all. ;)
