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.
Keep in mind that I am by no means a professional. I am honest about my feedback and criticisms.
I enjoy deep and thought-provoking poems/stories as well as well thought out characters.
Above all things, I believe reviews should be honest. I think that one brutally honest review can do more good than 100 coddling, everything-is-perfect reviews. I will never be mean (it’s unprofessional) but if you’re really serious about making your work better, I’ll be happy to help.
I look at the title, premise, overall structure first. Then I see how it makes me feel. After that, I might comment on little errors which are easily fixed.
I give accurate and detailed reviews. I emphasize the points that I liked and point out the aspects that could stand improving. But if I can't find something nice to say, I make it a point to say nothing at all.
I am an honest person, at least I think so, and I will give you my opinion. Never with a harsh meaner of course, simply what I think works or does not work.
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?
I read many books each year and I have a pretty "out there" imagination. I like stories that flow well, are fast paced and creative. I will give you a concise honest opinion of your writing.
When I review something, I like to observe every little detail and give my overall, honest impression of the piece of literature.
UPDATE: I'm back from some kind of hiatus, so if you need something reviewed...I have returned and I am willing to review you once more.
I am no expert on anything. So I can only tell you how something makes me feel. My native language is also not English and I am not an American. So I might not understand culture specific expressions.
5: If I absolutely love the item and would remember it and even recommend others to read it by posting it in my newsfeed. I will also give 50 GPS+ if I have any GPs left in my account.
4-5: If I like the item, but not enough to recommend it to others and post the link in my newsfeed. No GPs.
3 -4: If the item is okay. I kept on reading it because I thought I might change my opinion, but the item failed to meet my expectation. On the other hand I did not find any grammatical or spelling errors in it.
2-3: If the item is something which I didn't get at all and found at least one grammatical/ spelling error.
1 -2: I did not like it at all and could not even feel like reading it to the last.
So we all admit that not all stories are created equally. I'll attempt then, to review on a curve, based on an arbitrary two tier system. If the story really impresses me in its uniqueness and is publication worthy, it will make my tier 1 review and I will specifically say so. If the submission is average or below and not publication material it will make my tier 2 review but I will not overtly say this. Both kinds of reviews will still garner supportive analysis and constructive criticism where necessary.
I attempt a well-rounded review where I look at the item from a writer's and reader's perspective. I'll tell you what I liked and what I think could be strengthened. I like to think I'm a courteous and helpful reviewer.
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!
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 tend to be constructive, though I've been known to be a bit too nice...at least, in my opinion. note that while I'll review anything requested, they can be a bit sloppy if I don't take interest.
