This is my fist year submitting for the MF 250. I am curious about the feedback from the judges. What does the feedback look like/how much feedback is given?

Welcome! Generally feedback is sent out 24 hrs after the results are announced (which off the top of my head is 2-3 days before the next round begins). You’ll get 3 judges who’ll give comments under two categories - what they liked, and what they think needs work. Some judges are more detailed than others, but usually you should end up with a short paragraph per judge per section. 

If you want to see some examples, head over to the 100 Word Micro Review forum or last year’s 250 Micro Review (in the archives) - any titles that say “with FB” mean that author’s posted their feedback within the thread for you to look over. :)

Quite often the feedback in the 250 is larger than the 250 words the writer wrote... It is usually pretty good in this contest.

Sometimes writers will update their story post with the judges feedback. Here are some examples from last year. 


(I searched for "FB" in the 250 word archive from last year)
