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.
I offer honest feedback about the things you did well, and the things that need work. I know that I prefer honest feedback over niceties. However, I won't nitpick what you've written until you want to give up writing! Remember that what is say is just my personal opinion, and that I genuinely want to help.
It's hard for me to say exactly what my style is like, as what I include in any of the few reviews I've done so far depend on what I'm reviewing. So for the sake of filling this field, let's just say my style isn't defined and may change depending on the review.
I don't like being too critical in the sense that I will shred someone's work, but rather I will point out any possible areas that can be improved in an honest but polite way. Your work is yours alone, and the decision of whether or not you want to use what I include in my review is solely up to you.
I'm also very new to reviewing others' work, so I am learning as I go!
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 tend to focus on plot and character rather than more technical things. That being said, if I think the story needs re-formatting, or if your spelling/grammar are lacking, I'll tell you. I try to be as thorough as I can: a review under 500 words isn't worth writing, let alone reading. I rarely have time for a full essay, but I'll still try to cover as much as I can think of.
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.
When I read through something, I tend to focus on grammatical errors, character development (if applicable), pacing, and how satisfied I am with the ending. If you want me to focus on a certain aspect, let me know in your request.
My review style is usually very grammar oriented, although I of course will give my impression of the piece as a whole, detail successful areas, and suggest improvements for figurative devices/language, character development, etc.
I'm pretty detail-oriented, but I'm not judgemental and I can enjoy just about everything I read. I'm more about the story than the mechanics, but I can pick up on a few things. I just want to be as helpful as possible based on how I would want to be reviewed.
My review style is more on the technical side of things and the theme of your story. I want to feel what is happening to the characters and be able to see their motives. However, I will look if there are grammar or structure issues and depending on the errors, the review will be longer and more detailed. I am honesty driven and I will provide feedback, but it will not be cruel. Everyone deserves feedback on their work, after all, it’s what makes writers thrive and keep going.
I aim to give a bizarre little meld of creative and technical pointers. My behavior always goes for being thoughtful and polite. If someone says: "I'm brutally honest/I say it like I see it," I think they're misinterpreting what it means to critique something. At the same time, I want to try and see if I might give advice that can make a writer stronger and not just sugarcoat things. We're writers, we make mistakes! But there's just a teenie weenie bit of difference between constructive criticism and having an inferiority complex!
Bare in mind also that I am learning and if you think something I address is incorrect, by all means, please bring it up! We're here to learn from each other!
I am thorough. The technical aspects are important to me as much as if the story makes sense. The word "cruel" has been used before when responding to a review I've given, but in an appreciative and kind way.
I like to take my time with the reviews looking for both strengths and mistakes while getting to know the story. I am fairly detailed and work well on a sentence by sentence level.
Let me know if you would prefer a detailed review or a more general, big picture review.
I only send a review if I know I have something valuable to say. I tend to provide detailed advice, probably a longer and more detailed spiel than you actually wanted to be honest. I will sooner point out what you've done right then what you've done wrong, but I'm not afraid to be blunt when a piece needs serious revision. I will never criticize anything without offering advice on how to improve it - though I would rather see you ignore my advice altogether than make a change you don't want to make. It is your writing, after all.
