Comments on: How Should We Facilitate Book Critiques? http://www.reviewfuse.com/blog/2009/01/how-should-we-facilitate-book-critiques/ Fri, 18 May 2012 11:16:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: sakuragirl http://www.reviewfuse.com/blog/2009/01/how-should-we-facilitate-book-critiques/#comment-205 sakuragirl Mon, 09 Feb 2009 06:59:06 +0000 http://www.reviewfuse.com/blog/?p=148#comment-205 I believe it should be something not too complicated, say make two distinct categories for the "Upload your work" page: "book" and "chapter". If "book" is selected, then do not allow for actual text to be entered (or selected from a local file with the browse button), simply remove "Stpe 2". If "chapter" is selected, add an intermediate step where the writer can select to which of his previously created books he adds the current chapter. The chapters should be numbered automatically and the user can still add them a title, and the user should also be allowed to change the orders of the chapters in a book. Regarding critics, reviewers should eb allowed to review chosen chapters as well as the whole book. Hence, some specialized review tab should be created for books and for chapters other than the first. For more complexity, chapters could also have categories as prologue, regular chapter, epilogue, etc, and provide specialized review tabs for each sub-category. But that's maybe too much complexity :) And that's pretty much all, as I see it I believe it should be something not too complicated, say make two distinct categories for the “Upload your work” page: “book” and “chapter”.
