Whether someone gave you a great review on your novel or you found one that you absolutely loved, go ahead and spread the joy around with hitting that star button! :}

    Liking reviews that are written well is a good way to encourage good reviewing!

  • Wow, January went fast! And Review Day is here!

    A Challenge to all BRB members:
    * Write at least one review for review day (we're about quality over quantity after-all, so why not write at least one great one for Review Day). Consider checking out the resources in the Knowledge Base if you're stuck or checking into the discord channel.
    * And your second challenge, read a couple reviews, and like them if you think the reviewer did well! Giving likes on reviews is an easy way, to recognize and encourage good reviewing - and on Review Day is especially good because these get recognized on the Review Day statistics forums at the end.

    Resources for BRB members:
    BRB Review Templates
    Knowledge Base Favorites
    Review Motivation

    Any BRB member who completes both challenges (writing one review and liking one review) can comment here and will receive 200 points courtesy BRB



    BluesClues Challenges complete! I've written 6 Review Day reviews and liked four or five other reviews, of which @fraey's review on @Cloudkid's literary work Marble Lungs / Draft 03 / Chapter 1.1 is my favorite. I like the way fraey broke their review down in sections and discussed how each element - setting, character, etc - made this an effective opening chapter.
