I don't like using a template. I don't like correcting spelling. I don't like correcting grammar. I don't want to be your editor. I enjoy discussing what I have read. I am very happy to tell people what I have liked and what I have disliked. There is not a lot that I dislike.
I am pretty easy going. I don't want to bash your poem. I look for rhythm, color, formatting, form, meter, style, imagery. I look, I listen. I appreciate. For more go to my Poetry Review Forum #1399834 or find it in the Review Forum List.
I tend to focus on the technical aspects of a piece of writing, looking at the language, flow, style and punctuation.
I tend not to spend too much time on complimenting what works well.
I will find positives and negatives in your work. I use a template with a basic short story outline, my initial impressions, opportunities for improvement, and overall thoughts.
I have no area to consider in a review, but I can highlight an error that is obvious to me. The best way for you to get to know my reviewing style is reading some of them. By seeing them I'm sure you can judge.
I am thorough. The technical aspects are important to me as much as if the story makes sense. The word "cruel" has been used before when responding to a review I've given, but in an appreciative and kind way.
I try to be encouraging and friendly. I will never tear down your work, but I will not lie to you, either. Generally, I prefer to ask guiding questions of the writer, if I think an area needs improvement, rather than tell the writer what to do.
I will comment on: My first impressions of the piece, grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc., plot, setting, characters, line by line suggested edits, and overall impression and suggested improvements.
Above all things, I believe reviews should be honest. I think that one brutally honest review can do more good than 100 coddling, everything-is-perfect reviews. I will never be mean (it’s unprofessional) but if you’re really serious about making your work better, I’ll be happy to help.
I am meticulous about trying to give some useful pointers as feedback, if not about writing, at least about what I felt when I read the piece.
I will not do line-by-line edits but will give examples of the typos or errors, if seen at all.
I prefer not to read explicit details or abusive language although I will review anything asked, personal preference disregarded.
My own forte is for writing short stories, observational humour. But if I review what is outside my capacity or comfort zone, I research the norms before commenting.
I do not intend to hurt or denigrate, for I respect writing too much to do so. Nor do I feel I review except as fellow word-lover and writing-student.
If I forget a commitment, feel free to knock on my door to remind me!
I like to base my reviewing off of things like grammar, fluency and creativity. I'm quite basic so if you're looking for an in depth review I am certainly not the person to request.
I review the way I want to be reviewed. I don't focus too heavily on grammar, though I am good at picking up common mistakes and repeating phrases, etc. I like to be the 'reader'. What worked for me in your story? What didn't? I will primarily focus on style, and therefore will mostly provide opinions that you take with a grain of salt. I am constructive, but honest. If I think something can be improved, I will state that, but I will always tell you what I liked as well. You don't need a thick skin, but you do need to be prepared for some detail and not fluff. Finally, I have a somewhat busy real-life, but I PROMISE to try to have a story reviewed within a week or two of the request!
So we all admit that not all stories are created equally. I'll attempt then, to review on a curve, based on an arbitrary two tier system. If the story really impresses me in its uniqueness and is publication worthy, it will make my tier 1 review and I will specifically say so. If the submission is average or below and not publication material it will make my tier 2 review but I will not overtly say this. Both kinds of reviews will still garner supportive analysis and constructive criticism where necessary.
Conversational - I don't have a formal template. Comment to my perception of the work, both substance and technique; highlights & misses.
My reviews are public by default, but I will gladly make private upon request.
Very kind and considerate. Wil not point faults since many people dnt like it. But i wont gave false high praise either. I wud only giv it a compliment it deserves. And i mean good and great by all ratings except 2* and below.
