 |
|
Hi! I have a nice, long summer ahead of me so if you have any pieces that you would like reviewed, go ahead and post the link! The following is some more information about what I can and can't critique.
What I won’t (can't!) critique:
- historical fiction
- any horror
- scripts
At the moment, I'm not able to do advanced critiques either.
What I'll critique:
I'll try anything apart from those mentioned above, but my favourite types of writing to critique are:
- any type of poetry
- lyrics
- romantic fiction
- fanfiction (if I know the subject, otherwise I'd be of little help)
What I look for:
- the basics: grammar and spelling
- word choice and imagery
- theme
- general structure: is there a strong beginning/ending?
- features specific to the genre: e.g. poetry – rhythm
- the positive: I always try to point out positive aspects of pieces because I think it's important to know what has been done well. 
In return:
If you are feeling very generous, you could critique anything from my portfolio because I'd love to get more comments on any of my work. However, a thank you in my guestbook or via PM would also be greatly appreciated!

If you would like a critique, just post the link here. If there are any specific points you want me to check, let me know. I'll send a PM when I've critiqued your work, which shouldn't take more than three days.

Hi, do you think you could critique my chapter story?
Here's a link to Chapter One : http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/topic34013.html Tell me if you can't find the following chapters and I'll send you links.
Thankyou so much. This is really helpful.
