Review Style
I don't necessarily have a specific "template" for reviews. I do use some of the same methods in certain reviews, but the format of each will likely be unique to the piece of writing itself. I like to use the "three lenses" method when it comes to poetry - I'll read through the piece three times, and will pay attention to the technical, figurative, and literal aspects of the poem respectively. I do point out any spelling/grammar errors, and may suggest revisions for awkward phrasing, etc. I will also list the things you did well in your writing, and if possible explain *why* those certain things were good or let the piece flow more smoothly. I will try to point out different ways you can use those specific positives throughout the rest of your writing, in order to enhance it and allow the story/poem to seem more consistent.
I'm good at...
I'm good at identifying any spelling or grammar errors, and will make sure to highlight those for you. I am an avid reader and can identify awkward phrasing, and will offer some suggestions to make your writing flow more smoothly. However, I'll also make sure to point out the positives - if your character development, plot lines/twists, or descriptions of scenery are good, I'll let you know and potentially suggest other ways to incorporate those talents into the rest of your writing.

Review of Correctosaurus  Open in new Window.
Review by Stars Above Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
I absolutely loved this! It was a unique reading experience, as I'm not used to "all dialogue" stories, but I enjoyed every bit of it. This story was full of humor; it was interesting to slowly get bits and pieces about the environment and the current predicament of the two main characters. I myself am a bit of a "Correctosaurus", though I prefer the term "Grammar Nazi", and so this passage truly was both relatable and enjoyable. I felt extreme sympathy for Craig; I too struggle with being "that guy" who constantly corrects other peoples' spelling and grammar.

The jokes, the slang, the hug; all of this was amusing, engaging, and truly led on to the personalities of these two characters, despite the lack of description. I enjoyed this interaction greatly. Keep writing! I'd love to see another story like this; you've definitely succeeded with this one.
