Request a Review
The Writing.Com members below are accepting review requests and ready to review your item! Peruse the list, check out members' review styles and request a review from anyone who seems like a good fit for your item.
I will be honest: I just want GP. However, when I get paid to do something, it is a job, and I don't mess around with jobs. Do note that my spelling is sloppy. I would really take any GP above 100 but WdC doesn't let me.
I'm honest but constructive. I'll explain why I give the number of stars I give and what you could do to improve that. I do fix grammar as well as look at style, emotional triggers, characters, and other things like that. I'll get back to you with a full review in a couple of days or so after the request, depending on the length of the item.
If I like your work I'll tell you, and try to tell you why. I'll also try to point out any typos or other errors that I find. I'm trying to get better at giving reviews that are honest, helpful and encouraging .
I tend to be constructive, though I've been known to be a bit too nice...at least, in my opinion. note that while I'll review anything requested, they can be a bit sloppy if I don't take interest.
I will write a detailed review of your item that goes into detail about the positives and negatives of your item. I color code each section so everything is easy to see once you view your review.
Casual for the most part. I will point out errors I see and offer suggested corrections. I like to focus on the content and formatting of the item. I love providing helpful comments and feedback that may improve the item if acted on.
I'll try my best to comment on flow and writing style (not critiquing grammar, but areas that might seem too heavy or light, and suggestions on flow rate)
I believe a good review should be more than a list of what worked and what didn't. I read as a writer, but I review as a reader. I look for emotion, atmosphere, character, rhythm, detail, and the layers beneath the obvious story. When something moves me, I explain why. When something doesn't work, I try to say so honestly and respectfully, with suggestions that may help strengthen the piece. I don't believe criticism should tear writing apart; it should help the writer see what the reader sees. Above all, I ask myself one question: Did I feel something? If a story stays with me after the final line, then the writer has achieved something important.
Kind. We are all writers from the heart. It is from the heart that I review. I will not poke holes in your work. Your story is yours to tell. I will, however, offer craft suggestions.
I try my best to read everything on Writing.com with great care. My reviews always include a first impression, my feelings about theme and structure and where appropriate, some thoughts about possible revisions.
I will give the kind of review that I wish people gave me: rather detailed with emphasis on areas that need growth and areas that are pretty good already. And I'll review pretty much anything, whether a poem or an entire novel or anything in between. Admittedly, though, I do tend to be absent-minded, so it does happen that you might have to resend me the review request, but I promise I'll get around to it eventually.
Alternatively, if you ask, I can give you a scathing review with no fluff, if that is what you desire. However, in general, I'll give a polite, padded review.
If you're looking for a reviewer for your novel, I am open to doing chapter by chapter reviews. If that's what you want, please email me.
Note: I'm very disorganized and oftentimes will forget to accept your review request. If I do, please just send it again and I'll get to it. (Reminder emails also go a long way for me.) Sorry!
I'll read your writing, and dissect it line-for-line adjusting any grammar, flow, spelling, etc. I will also give my general opinion of your piece. I will never insult you and will point out the good and the bad. I am very nit picky so if you don't like that then I suggest you move on. However, I believe I am capable of improving your writing technique, quality and overall style.
I attempt a well-rounded review where I look at the item from a writer's and reader's perspective. I'll tell you what I liked and what I think could be strengthened. I like to think I'm a courteous and helpful reviewer.
I like to be analytical in my reviewing. The most interesting pieces of writing often work on a number of different levels, and so I try to consider multiple perspectives when informing the author of what I liked or disliked about their piece. For this reason, I don't get along very well with templates, as I find they turn the whole process into something very clinical! You can expect my reviews to be a fluid, tailored discussion of your individual work.
