❝Well done on that cover! I am so happy to see a decent one. Damn. I really love what I've read of your story (will actually go back and vote), and I hope to continue it just for funsies. You write with little to no grammar problems, creative uses of language and scene setting, and gave clear character sketches with few words. The only thing that I personally would encourage you to improve, was the synopsis. It just falls a bit flat. Good luck with the awards! I think I'm rooting for you.❞

❝Hiya, doll! So, this book looks pretty interesting, but a few things ruined it for me - though the synopsis was kind of intriguing, it was also extremely vague. The cover was not very professional and the grammar needed a bit of editing. But you have a cool idea going on, so don't stop writing! Just edit a bit, request a cover at a cover shop, and all should be fine. This is all out of encouragement, and not because I hate it - all new writers make mistakes like these! Good luck!❞

3. Betrayal by @Rosie_80

-title (3/5)

-plot (7/10)

-characterization (6/10)

-cover (2/5)

-description (3/5)

-grammar (7/10)

-creativity (6/10)

-total (34/55)

❝Hello, darling! Just a few tips; your English is not bad for a second-language writer (I can so relate) but it does need a bit of editing. I would recommend you apply for a cover at a cover shop, as well, and that you take a bit of time to edit the book yourself, if not with an editor on Wattpad. The synopsis intrigued me, which is good, and the title is pretty good too. Never stop writing, keep up the good work! These are mistakes every new writer makes, so just keep at it!❞

4. Darkness Falls by @MarcRogers

-title (4/5)

-plot (8/10)
