Peer review, if taken seriously, can be immensely helpful in crafting one's work. Peer review is more than going through a checklist of requirements or checking for correct grammar. It is about responding thoughtfully to someone's work as an authentic and truthful audience member. Does the piece honestly do anything for you? If you want to help your peers, you would answer that question truthfully. And if you do happen to really enjoy someone's work, you must say more than this: it was good. Take your time. Read the script twice. Be specific in your responses.
