  • #ReviewTips
    Hey friends. It's RevMo. Burn out is strong, other things like tsunami for LSS and school and life have gotten in the way. And sometimes, reviewing is just hard.

    Take breaks.

    But, if you're looking for some helpful information and motivation...
    My tip is...
    Ask questions! Both to the reader, but also, yourself! Ask about the work you're reviewing. What's the genre? What do you like about this character? How does this stanza make you feel? Think about what you're actually reading, and writing a review for it after will be so much easier!

    Reviewing is hard. Trust me I know, sometimes it's really hard. Don't push yourself too much, and try to have fun! And hey, maybe share some reviewing tips of your own?

    Happy RevMo, YWS!!

    Do You Want To Join The In-depth Poetry Reviewing Event?

    Image

    Do you want to receive quality, in-depth reviews on your poetry? In the midst of RevMo, the mod team is hosting a special poetry based reviewing event for committed poets, wanting to write and receive in-depth and quality reviews.

    What is the event?

    For this event, you will submit one of your poems to be reviewed. This can be a work you have published on YWS previously, or a new one that you publish for this event. You will be assigned to leave two quality and in depth reviews on two other poems that have been submitted for the event. In return, you will also receive two in-depth reviews on your poem, from other participants.

    What exactly is an in depth and quality review?

    This is a review that is written after closely reading the poem, analyzing the content the best you can, and should include impressions, critiques, compliments, quotes, and follow an organized structure. It should be long enough to include and cover all of these points. It is not a review that is written in a few minutes, rather it is something that takes time and effort, basically- the best review you can write! Reviews written with AI are considered Review Spam and are not allowed.

    You will receive your asssigned poems to review on September 15th. Your two reviews must be submitted by September 27th.

    How do I sign up?

    Sign ups will be open from September 1st to 14th and there is a limit of 12 spots available. To sign up, please send a security deposit of 1000 points to PoetryBot and post below once you have done so. Once you complete your two reviews for the event, you will get all of these points returned to you, if you don't complete your reviews, you will not receive the points back. Also, by September 12th, please PM @EllieMae with a link to the poem that you would like to have reviewed. It must be published on YWS.

    If you have any questions, please reply to this post, or PM. one of the event organizers, @EllieMae, @alliyah, or @OrabellaAvenue.
