All criticism is serious but constructive. We point out strengths as well as weaknesses in plot, viewpoint, character, structure, and dialogue and make suggestions. Character development-- creating complex, real people within the plot context is emphasized. Throughout the course, there is discussion about how to get an agent and a publisher.
