My style is varied for the most part meaning that sometimes I feel it necessary to comment on grammar and other times the flow of the story as an example. I will always try to be sensitive of your feelings for I know that writing is hard and personnel but even though this is true I still want to be as helpful as I can.
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.
I believe in constructive criticism and honesty. I can adapt my review style to fit the kind of feedback an author is looking for (e.g., developmental suggestions, fine-tuning, proofreading, etc.), but will always try to be as encouraging and helpful as possible.
Lenient in regards to grammatical errors or formatting, though a well formatted piece does make for better reading.
I'm more story focused and worried. To me a story is like a fire you're trying to start. Grammar is nothing more to the fire than how nice the fireplace or firepit it's being held in.
I look for interesting stories. I do not guage another author because of differences in style (from my own). I look for spacing, grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.
I also look for incongruity. For instance: "It was a cold night with no fire to warm ourselves." And then, starting the next paragraph: "The next morning we put out the fire and left on our horses."
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.
In each review, I aim to tell you what I liked best first.
Second, I will give you some suggestions, if I think they are needed.
I will give you some pointers for grammar or spelling if needed, but if the whole story is in need of grammar and spelling fixes, I will only give you 1-2 examples.
Disclaimer: I am not good at remembering to do requested reviews. Often I have busy things going on with work and my own novels, so sorry if I decline or don't remember to do a review in the short time given. Just a warning.
When I review: Long. Depending on the type of story and reason for review I tend to get anywhere from 4,000 characters to on the rare occasion over 10,000.
I will make overall comments, technical points and even offer sources when necessary but a lot is dependent on what I'm reviewing. I can even do a full edit but that's take a lot of niceness and time.
My job as a reviewer is to help you with your writing- not give you an ego-boost. I'll tell you what's working well in your piece, but also suggestions for improvement. And improvement of your writing skill is why you're here, right?
I'll give you my honest opinion about your piece, what I like, what I don't like, any questions I may have, and how I think you may be able to improve what I'm reviewing.
I try to be honest and positive. My Christian faith is an important background factor. I hate rating low but have a system that determines how I grade.
