Going to 300 would be fine, too.

I would support anything that helps the critiques stay active; agree that categorizing by age category would be helpful, or genre.

Breaking it down into specific genres might make it difficult for you to offer as many critique sessions unless maybe it was broad (like all speculative including SF/F, contemporary/suspense/thrillers, and historicals with romance falling into any one of the above). I do enjoy reading others' first pages and occasionally being able to offer my own for critique. Thanks for continuing to offer these opportunities!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601415592841037784noreply@blogger.com
