Hello Peeps!
I'm opening a WRFF due to the Better Review Bureau encouragement to help you all out with some reviews. You should definitely join.
What I'll Review
I like to review poetry, but I will also review novels, short stories, songs, chapters, lyrics, essays, articles, scripts, and others. Mostly I review poetry.
What I Ask For
In exchange for my hard work, I ask that you review things too! For reach review I do for you, I want to see you do a review for someone too. I don't think that's too much to ask. If you haven't reviewed within a month of your request, I won't review you as quickly. After all, if you haven't reviewed for a month, how am I supposed to know you're still on YWS to get my feedback?
How to Submit
To submit a review request from me, send me a link to what you want me to review. If I don't review it in a timely enough manner for you, send me a poke on my wall. I'm a busy-body and I've probably misplaced my sticky note telling me to review it. If you tell me what type of review you want to receive, I'll do my best to deliver your request.
What I Won't Review
I won't review things where you want a grammar checker unless it's on a word doc or a WFP where I can edit right on the document. If you want a grammar lesson, go find a grammar grandma please.
Review Types
I have several different review types that I do, including personal style examination, analysis of literature or poems, grammar on poetry, novel plot observations, and poetry specifics.
Personal Style Examination
Depending on what category you write in, this could go different ways. If you write novels, I will read several chapters of your novels and on your last chapter I read, I will write a long review detailing things I noticed throughout the story about the type of writing you do. Example, Example
If you request it and you do not write novels, I will comment on your style by reading multiple pieces of your work either over a stretch of time or close together depending on if you want to see your development or if you want to see how you're doing now. Example
If you ask me for an examination of your personal style on an essay, you're likely to get very specific feedback about sentence structure, and other nuances like theme, support, counterpoints, and how argumentative or explanatory the essay is, and how effective it is. Example
Analysis of Poetry
I have also been known to analyze poetry before in a more formal-writing style. Basically I don't write it to you as the reviewer, but to a third party reader and talk about the different ways you craft your poetry so you can see your poetry through the eyes of your readership. Example
Poetry Grammar
When I say poetry grammar, I mean that I can get nitpicky about the word choice, punctuation, capitalization, rhyme choice, line breaks, and other specifics of poetry crafting if you ask me to. This usually becomes one of my longer reviews as I'll go over the poem with a more fine-toothed comb. Example, Example, Example
Novel Plot Observations
This is one of the review styles that I do the least, but if I read more than a couple chapters in a novel, I'll comment on the type of novel progression I see going on and where I think the novel is going. This will also include character analysis of development, and a bit of stylistic exploration. Example
Poetry Specifics
I will do reviews specifically about poetry elements like Theme, Imagery, Entertainment, Structure, and Originality and rank you with what I think your best area is, to your worst, and explain the reasons why I ranked you the way that I did. These reviews can also include other things like specifics about what I think your poem should work on instead of what you should work on as well as suggestions to try different areas of poetry. Example, Example, Example, Example
YWS Critique Sandwich
I also review in the general YWS Critique Sandwich Style with a strict adherence to it if you request it. Example, Example
If you want a type of review that isn't on this list, describe what you'd like from me and I'll do my best to give you what feedback you're looking for.
See you around~
