Hi, all!

It's the weekend, and I've decided to try my hand at critiquing other people's works and give the editing business a shot.

Reviews I will write will only be posted here in my book and will be uploaded days after the request has been accepted, and depending on the amount of requests I receive within that week. I will inform the author(s) via tagging on the comments section.

My critiques are direct to the point and are not for the thin-skinned, but I won't be brutally honest especially if I think you've only started writing very recently. Honesty and straightforwardness go a long way when you're trying to help someone improve their skills.

If you're only expecting positive reviews, then I'm not the critic for you. I also have a demanding day job and I'm trying to finish my latest novels during my free time. Patience is expected of you. Another thing: don't be discouraged if I only provide general feedback on the plot and characters; I am just the type of reader who tends to focus on the more technical aspects of your writing.

In some cases, I might go in-depth when providing feedback but only if I have the time, and only if I feel that invested into the plot, which will likely depend on whether your story and writing skills have garnered my interest.

In return, all I ask of you is that you stay open-minded and optimistic after reading my published review of your book or other written works. I also hope that you at least try to integrate my suggestions and technical corrections into your editing process.

In most cases, if I have the luxury of spare time, I will re-type and point out the parts in your book that need proofreading. This means I have read the chapters line by line, after which I will provide technical assistance (corrections on grammar/punctuation/tense/other inconsistencies). In some cases, I will provide comprehensive feedback on the blurb, plot, setting and imagery, dialogue, pacing, and characters.

Moving on!
