How to critique

[Gerryswo]

Hi,

I'm a newby. I'm not sure if this is where I should be posing this question, but I don't see any other option, so here I go.

How do I critique? By that I mean what is the process for submitting a critique? Can I write my critique offline in Word and post it? Does PP have its own critiquing protocol that requires me to critique here and not on Word? Basically, I think I'm looking for step by step procedure for critiquing a poem.

Since I know nothing, anything you can tell me will help.

Thank you.

You can copy and paste from Word and most other apps without too many formatting issues. Or you can reply directly on the site. There is a "preview post" option near the bottom of your screen if you are worried how a reply might appear.

So, do I just click on a given poem and then select the REPLY button to submit a critique?
