Julie, my fellow critique partner, since I feel bad about outbidding you, if I win, I will split these five PB critiques with you. What do you think?
valerielarson@comcast.net
Hey Valerie - I love your thinking. But Erin's intent here is to be able to evaluate a body of work from one author, where she can get a sense of the author's overall strengths and areas needing work - thus making the critique more useful. So sharing this item won't work
In the meantime, to all of you, thanks for bidding. LIGHT UP THE LIBRARY is loving you.
Okay, Jean - Sorry Julie. I tried.

Valerie, you are very sweet. It does feel kind of bad bidding against friends but I promise if I win I'll share the experience/what I learn on the Critique Group Ning Network! :-)

I noticed some of the bids are going up in $5 increments. The rules say bidding starts at $10, but nothing is mentioned about increment amounts. Is it supposed to be $10 too, or is a $5 increase okay?
I hope you make lots of $$$ for this wonderful cause!
