I look for grammar and spelling mistakes and generally focus on how the piece reads like the flow and word choice. If you are just seeking a review of the overall story, just ask.
I am still a little new to review but I try to be as thorough as possible and point out any and all mistakes that I can find.
I will usually review anything that you request of me if I have time. Though there are a few genres and types of writing I don't really prefer.
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.
Hello there and welcome to my desk! I enjoy reading and writing and as I find time love to review. If there is something you would like reviewed, please submit and I will do my best to get to it!
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 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"
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.
Unsentimental. I focus on the kinds of craft issues that will keep a writer from being taken seriously and prevent them from fully expressing their vision.

I like to always pick out the positive points in a piece, even if overall I am not enamoured by it.
I tend to point out grammatical and spelling errors.
I will be honest, but not unkind
I like to be analytical in my reviewing. The most interesting pieces of writing often work on a number of different levels, and so I try to consider multiple perspectives when informing the author of what I liked or disliked about their piece. For this reason, I don't get along very well with templates, as I find they turn the whole process into something very clinical! You can expect my reviews to be a fluid, tailored discussion of your individual work.
It's important for writers to know what's working and what isn't, and as a reviewer, it helps to know if you have a specific concern as the writer.
My review will be specific but holistic, kind but honest. I'll let you know what truly grabs me or loses me.
During the school year I won't be able to review much, but definitely hit me up over the holiday season or the summer months (North America).
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 try to find the WOW factor in the writings of my choice.

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.
Mostly just bitchin'. If it's great writing I switch over to nit-picking but usually I'll find something to like.
Please don't ask me to review poetry unless you're either James Fenton, Seamus Heaney or thick skinned as an elephant... I absolutely hate bad poetry. I'm the terror of the dactyls, I swat them with my hat. I'll have no truck with trochees, coz life's too short for that. Seriously I'm not qualified. I mean a metre is made up of feet? Like what?
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.
