SYW Question [how much should you post?]

Crash11 · Jul 28, 2012

Is there any limit to how many sections or chapters of one MS you can post? I've seen a few people post multiple chapters of their MS, so I'm just curious if there is an established limit? I'm not planning to post my entire novel, but I would like feedback on at least a few sections.

I wouldn't post too many a once. Usually, problems in one chapter/section will be similar to those in another, so you can take the feedback from chapter 1 and use it to strengthen your novel. Post ch. 2 and do the same. Any more than ch. 3 and you're probably in beta-reader territory.

Awesome thanks.

And consider that shorter samples are likely to attract useful criticism, whereas looooong chunks of text can be a bit intimidating to critique.
