Review Style
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.
I'm good at...
Plotting, characterization, dialogue, structure/pacing, and professional considerations. I can also do serviceable technical editing/proofreading, but I'm much better with developmental/creative feedback.
Favorite Genres
I read almost everything. I particularly love genre fiction (mystery/thriller and science fiction/fantasy especially) and nonfiction of all kinds.

Darkshadowdog,

I enjoyed reading your poem. I like the postapocalyptic content that you were able to fit into a piece of so few words. You were able to effectively create an image of the world in my head as I reviewed your work. Keep writing and thanks again for the chance to submit a review.

Beth,

I really enjoyed your letter. I think it's got the perfect combination of hopeful enthusiasm and stern criticism. I love the way you reinforce your goals, and at the same time chastise yourself for not having made any progress thus far.

Nice job!

Review of A Gift for MCG  
Review by Jeff
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
J.A. Buxton,

I enjoyed this poem of yours. The rhyming scheme is great and I loved the subject matter. The one suggestion I would offer is to change the "He gave no hint for a subject or theme" to "He gave no hint of subject or theme". I think there's an extra syllable in there that is throwing me off as I read.

Other than that, really nice work! Keep it up!

Mara,

Another great chapter! I wish I had some kind of constructive criticism to offer this series of stories, but up to this point, they've been a pleasure to read, and I can't think of a single thing that I would change that could improve them.

You've got a great talent. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review!

Mara,

I'm still hooked! This is an incredibly well-written story, and the first two chapters have successfully provided all the exposition necessary to empathize with all these characters and care about where the story is headed. I can't wait to read the next two chapters!

Thanks for the great read!

Hey Mara,

I really enjoyed your other story, so I figured I'd give this one a try. So far, you've got me hooked! I really like your prose, particularly the line about images flashing in Technicolor clarity... what a great line!

Keep up the good work; I can't wait to read more!
