How does the application process work?

It's an intense ten-step process. Really.

Information above the line is your end, below is ours

1. Complete the application, which consists of critiques on 2 literary pieces, the front and back cover, general layout, and a short bio.


2. Submit this typed critique with an attached cover sheet; we do not want your name anywhere on the piece. We need to keep our critiques unbiased.

3. Folio staff meets and a horizontal line is drawn across the whiteboard.


4. The application is given a letter and read aloud by a member. Others listen and form opinions.


5. Opinions about their critiques, their writing style, personality, and other ideas are vocalized.


6. The letter of the app is written on the board accordingly-- average? above? below? super above?


7. Rinse and repeat


8. We take a look at the board and decide which applications are accepted. The number accepted can vary based on quality and quantity of applicants.


9. We learn the identities of the accepted writers. Rejected applicants are never revealed


10. Acceptance/Rejection letters are sent to homeroom
