According to the confirmation email they sent out: In general, they let us know a couple of days before the next round. These days, feedback usually comes through just before the next round (not by much, but it used to always come after). If they're running late for any reason, they'll send an email by that time anyway. |

They get paid... but not a lot. A few dollars per story. Which can be a good chunk of change if they're reading a couple hundred stories -- but they won't want to spend an hour on each story to give extreme feedback.

I think, if nothing else, I'm really looking forward to the feedback about what I wrote. The Genre in particular was a real challenge for me, and I'm interested to see if I actually hit it. I think I did.
Of course, going on to Round 2 would be nice too!

I fear you will be disappointed re the quality of the feedback. you would do better to give feedback to lots of stories here so people will return the favor on yours. The feedback from your fellow writers, in past years anyway, has been much better than what I've experienced from the judges. |

Good to know! It's my first time in this contest.
I'll try to remember to upload my story later today. Any feedback is good, really. I like knowing if what I'm trying to get across actually gets there, if people can actually make a connection, things like that. |
