Letter from the editor

*Trainbr*

*Lightning2* Reviewing is an important activity here at WDC. Reading is vital for authors as we can all learn from other authors to improve our skill. Reviewing others can assist us to improve communication in expressing our views and helpful tips that we may notice to help other writers.

*Quill* We all would like our work to be read and enjoyed. So don't be shy about leaving a comment.
Remember that we all come from different experience levels and skills and will respond with what we know to contribute.
Review what you like and comment with a positive mindset, noting what works for you, what you like, and what does not work for you or any questions or confusions you may see.

*Questiony* Have you ever checked out the Tab "Reviewers" on the side bar?
You can find out who else is reviewing, styles of reviews and even review groups. Your own public reviews will also show up here! *Delight*

*Questionp* Do you know you can earn gifts points for each review with 250 characters or more?
And even earn a Merit Badge from WDC if you make the top 100 reviewers in a month?
A little thank you for your efforts in serving your fellow authors. *Heart*

*Bigsmile* There is a Reviews Tab in your portfolio and "Reviews Tab" Open in new Window. is a detailed look at how you can check your own review stats and set up your plan. You can even see incoming reviews and whether you responded. It is always good to respond to comments with a simple thank you! *Heart* Everyone does their best!

If you are upgraded account you can also create a Review Template for ease. *Wink*

*Bookstack* There are lots of references on how to review if you need ideas. I read and learned a lot from them when I first joined WDC. Also, reading other reviews on the Review page showed me how each person has their own style and comfort level.

*Wand* Find something you like and give your thoughts.
Ideas in this article are really helpful.

*Greetr*A good place to start reviewing is simply pick something and read.
You are also welcome to join a review group. This is a place to join with other reviewers, earn some gift points, gain some experience and have fun with any activities that may pop up! *Laugh* I found it a great help to b involved with a group as I could ask questions and get to know a few people at a time.
Each group may have its own protocols and everyone can find a place! Generally when you join a group, you review using its signature and can earn gifts! Under the Reviewers Tab on the sidebar you can find Most Actively Reviewing Groups like:

"WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" Open in new Window.
"The WDC Angel Army" Open in new Window.

Or you do not have to join a group to review at "Anniversary Reviews" Open in new Window. or "Poetry Review Garden [on hiatus]" Open in new Window.. *Wink*

So many choices and invitations to read and review! And as you review, folks may return the favour and review you! *Wink* Have fun!

Write and Review on!
