February Topic -Your credibility as a reviewer Do you Verify Your Facts? Negative feedback often arises when a reviewer notices mechanical mistakes in the areas of grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. Pointing out these errors helps the writer tighten up his story, and can shed light on the rules of the language that the writer may have forgotten or never learned. It is critical that you be certain of the correction you are making! You will lose credibility quickly when you try to fix something that isn’t broken. Do you ALWAYS Spell-check and Preview Your Review When you have spent time reading and evaluating a story, and have carefully articulated the feedback in professional, encouraging language, you have still not done everything possible to ensure your credibility is sound. Always spell-check your review, because a writer will be less likely to accept your criticism if your review is riddled with misspelt words. And, as we all know, spell-check doesn’t flag type if they are correctly spelt words. It is imperative that you also click “Preview” to be sure there are no typos and no missing WritingML end tags. A review is hard to read (and to take seriously) when two-thirds is accidentally italicized. Fairy ☮   Lilli ☕  🌝 HuntersMoon  Jayne  HWinB.C.
