Yes, I am accepting requests for critiques. Please do ask me if you need a review for your story. However, I can't promise you that I'll always be around. 
So.
How are my critiques like?
This really depends on your piece. Sometimes, if I feel the need to be nitpicky about your story, I could be quite thorough and quote every other sentences. Other times, when I feel your piece is self-contained enough, I tend to give general suggestions and less detailed reviews. But depending on your request, I could review to your needs.
What do I tend to critique on?
I am not too heavy about grammar. However, my critiques usually focus on plot development, atmosphere and description.
What do I review?
Historical fiction, other fiction, scripts, adventure fiction, and non-fiction.
What do I avoid reviewing?
Essays, novels with long chapters (though there are exceptions, I just need to see if I'm interested), and poetry. Only novels are exceptions, essays and poetry will not be accepted.
Do I review anything else?
I would, but only if you give me a valid reason of why I should.
So how much does it cost?
My reviews are free for the moment.
What are my principles on reviewing? On writing?
For reviews, I would say I try to be direct, and precise. It's better to know your mistakes straight off the bat before it kills your story, I'd say.
As for writing, coherence would be the most important. No matter how wonderful your ideas may be, if it's not handled in a logical manner, it's still going to turn out rubbish.
~~~
And that concludes my introduction of my service, use it as you wish.  XD
Have a nice day, come again.  |

Would you please consider critiquing my story Grace Under Pressure? http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/post407855.html#407855
It needs serious ripping apart but I've stort of come to a dead end with how to edit it further...
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! |

| Done with scasha's and Eimear's! I will get to SunshineOrange's shortly. D: I usually review quickly, but because I was away for some reasons, I couldn't. So sorry about the delay, guys. |

Hello
Do you think you could be a star and review "Broken"? My hyperlink function isn't working but you'll find it easily in my portfolio. Thanks so much, I'd be ever so grateful.
Thankyou again.
Sarah

| I kind of did CastlesInTheSky's but probably not the chapter she wanted me to critique. I might probably continue looking out for that. D: Meanwhile... next? |

Okay, after a long hiatus from YWS, I'm back and ready to review more!
Some new facts about my service:
-as mentioned by some members above, my reviews are usually quick and varying in nature
-I only review works which I think the author had put some effort in, therefore, if you think your story isn't up to quality, I can't guarantee that you'll get a review.
Asides from that, request away! |
