Writing.Com General Discussion

Hey there!

Congrats on posting your first review! That's really the cornerstone of this site. Reviewing puts the backbone in this place, so I always love to see new members taking the plunge and posting their first review. It can be super nerve-wracking. Will the writer understand our comments? Accept our criticism? Be offended by our opinions? I always go with the "sandwich" method of reviewing - positive comment first, suggestions in the middle, and conclude with another positive. As a reviewer, I can always find something positive to say about someone else's work, and I think that encouragement as well as constructive criticism is so important. Treat your reviewing as a professional endeavor to improve your own writing, and you'll be fine.

Let me know if I can help you with anything!

Take care,
Emily
