One thing SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) does is full manuscript exchanges. It's hard reading a novel bit by bit through critique slots (though I'm proof it can be done!) What would it take for SFWW to start something like this? If someone wanted comments on a full novel, and someone else wanted full comments about a novel, couldn't the two interested members swap? I suppose people could arrange this on their own, but what if their was some streamlined format? We could put it on the website. Perhaps even as a selling point? We've got the WIKI, the bborad, the critiques, the chats. Lots of stuff. Why not exchanges? Perhaps we have TOO much stuff, so people have a hard time keeping up with it, but I'd argue its all about building a community. Different people find different outlets helpful, whether bboard or critiques or what have you.

Thoughts?
