Learn the Craft of Reviewing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Definition of: advice from Dictionary.Com
noun 1. an opinion or recommendation offered as a guide. Communication of information.

Writing advice is only advice--not a rule. The purpose of advice is to give a helping hand and a possible solution to those writers who get stuck or discouraged, and can't figure out why. They know who they are. If you can assess your writing honestly, you'll eventually learn to work with your natural strengths and navigate around the areas that give you trouble. But,

reading, giving and receiving quality feedback will help you reach your goal with more confidence.

I advise anyone who honestly wants to learn the in and outs of writing to click on the public review page links below and read the words in the reviews you'll find there. Each review is a lesson in writing and they are posted publicly to be available to anyone who is serious about learning.

These reviewers know what they're talking about and deserve to be credited for their work. Yes--they deserve to receive gps from the public review page.

A good review offers insight into how a piece might be improved (or makes a compelling case that it's complete as is). A great review offers the reader insight on how to be a better writer. That's my bar and I'll strive to reach it.
