I like to be detailed. I will point out everything I liked first and then let you know if I noticed any distractions. I will only point out things that I think will help you as a writer. :)
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
I enjoy reviewing and try to be as honest as possible. I look for specific things such as technical merit, flow and lyrical quality in poems, creativity, tone, and mood. Though I can be a tough critic, I strive to encourage writers to grow and challenge themselves. I feel that it is through constructive criticism that we grow as writers. I strive to give the writer feedback on the overall impact of the piece. I am the host and judge of the "Shadows and Light Poetry Contest" and co-host of the "Roots & Wings Historical Fiction Contest"
I'm a no nonsense reviewer. I give my honest opinion. I look for flow, plot holes, and other various creative issues. I am taking creative writing classes right now, so my style will change as I go through these classes.
When providing reviews, I tend to maintain a positive outlook. While some things may not work in a story or other writing sample, I feel it is important to identify what works well and how parts done poorly can be reworked into something better.
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.
When reviewing other's work I tend to be straight forward and honest. I do not do sarcasm as it can be taken as being rude. I do not like horror stories.
While I will give input on any spelling, grammar, and punctuation, I much prefer to rate based on how the content flows and feels to me as a reader. Even if there is room for improvement, I always prefer to stay on the positive side of things. To be honest, every writer has room for improvement. We're all works in progress.
If I am reviewing a story, I am looking for consistency and logic in the story line. Even if it is fantasy or sci-fi, I expect that there are rules to your alternate universe. I look for dimension to your characters. What is their backstory? You don't have to tell it all to me, but make them more than a stereotype.
In poetry, I look for the image or emotion that you are trying to create and will suggest word changes.
While I prefer not to review non-fiction, I will if it is not politics (my job). In this case, you can expect the same examination of your argument and supporting evidence as I would give one of my students.
Still discovering it. I prefer to review only works that touch me in some way, or from writers I know want honest feedback to help improve their work, and I'm actually in a position to give it.
I'm flexible to give you the kind of review you ask for. You want me to focus on grammar, I can do that. You want me to focus on content, I can do that. I do tend to think about whether you're work is accomplishing what you intend it to. If you want to rile people up but your writing is too peaceful, I'll tell you.
I might be a better reviewer than a writer since my actually writing skills are lower than my inner understanding of writing, feelings and how people see the world.
I mostly try to give refined criticism, which can be harsh but only if necessary since I endorse delicacy.
