Hello. In this thread I will provide users with a comprehensive review of any piece of literature that they care to have evaluated. Users who apply should realize that it is their duty as the author to properly edit their piece before asking for it to be reviewed; I am a reviewer and not an editor. I therefore will not be posting exhaustive lists of grammar mistakes in a piece. Further information on my reviewing process can be found by using the index, which is located in the next post.
I will also be compiling a list of past reviews. These can be found by using the index on the next post. These will include the review in its totality, including the application, review, score and submission score within the original application.
I will review poems, short stories, extended stories and unfinished pieces. Each has the same basic rubric for the time being. I am willing to create a new rubric if a short story or poem author wishes for me to do so.
All potential applicants should realise that I grade on a scale much harsher than most. This ensures that the prestigious ranks located at the bottom of this thread remain so. This also ensures that your story will improve more after a review of mine than a review of many other users in this forum. I boldly state that I am the most honest and critical of any reviewing establishment currently existing. I do not allow levels of reviewal: I will always review each and every piece with the utmost criticality, but also with sympathy for mistake. If you cannot handle criticism, please do not apply. If you would not like to see your story bettered, please do not apply. Please read the first fifty posts before applying.
I look forward to continuing to read the wonderful literature that our community produces and to working with authors collaboratively to remediate their pitfalls and improve upon their strengths.
If you have any questions, please post them.
