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 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 try to come at a review from an editor's point of view. I look at: what I liked, perspective, tense, mechanics, does the opening hook me, show vs telling, and I try to offer suggestions. I always strive to be honest without being unkind.
I try to find the WOW-factor in your writing. No in-depth analysis, just my thoughts.

I mainly look for the 'flow' of the story. If I'm reading along, & it's 'flowing' just fine...I'm talking no 'bumps in the road', or something that's going to make me pause...then it is a very well written story. But if I hit a 'bump', trust me, you gonna know! I also hate 'mus' punctuation...no commas or periods...it misplaced commas & periods.
I'm a very detailed fiction reviewer. I'll offer first impressions, plot analysis, voice and pacing commentary, editorial corrections for shorter pieces with few errors, and favorite parts. I often have a high minimum GP offer to consider requests, varying depending on how busy I am.
I have a review template that is only used for in depth reviews, usually those that are specifically requested. These will be as comprehensive as I can manage, including everything I have noticed in reading the piece. Most of my reviews, however, are more in the nature of reactions to the piece with brief notes on things I find particularly good and suggestions on dealing with any obvious flaws in the writing.
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.
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'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.
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.
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'm honest when I review thing I'll say what's on my mind but at the same time I try to stay positive and will always tell you what you did right but this means in no way am I a professional reviewer so take my reviews with a grin of salt please
Iām not a technical reviewer but I will sometimes make suggestions or recommendations for improvements.
I typically judge by the content of the piece.
