REVIEWING
Wait...donât run off too quickly. Hear me out, please.
We are here at Writing.com because we love to read and write. While there are some accomplished creatives among us, many are hobby writers. We are a diverse community and our level of writing is just one way we are different. This is important to remember when we sit down to review one another. Particularly when reviewing new members of the site.
Here are a couple of unsolicited suggestions I can offer:
1. If you cannot think of a single nice this to say about an item youâve just read, then donât review it. Easy-peasy! No harm will be done.
2. Try to keep your reviews well-rounded. What I mean by this is to tell the author things you liked about their item before going into everything thatâs wrong with it. And when you do tell them whatâs wrong, offer suggestions on ways to improve.
3. Ask yourself, âAm I writing the type of reviews that Iâd like to receive myself?â
4. Have you heard of âthe sandwich methodâ? It means beginning and ending the review on a positive note. Itâs not that difficult, really.
5. Remember, the type of reviews you give says more about you than what you are reviewing.
6. Just to be clear, I am not suggesting that the reviews we give should be all fluff and artificial praise. I only suggest we give balanced reviews to our fellow creatives.
