IF MY HONEST WORDS ABOUT ME PROBABLY NOT BEING ABLE TO READ/REVIEW YOUR BOOK DIDN'T SCARE YOU AWAY, I APPLAUD YOU. BECAUSE I HONESTLY DO WANT TO GET BACK INTO READING WATTPAD BOOKS AGAIN, BUT JUST FEEL THAT I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME. HOWEVER, HERE'S HOW YOU CAN PROBABLY GET A REVIEW FROM ME; AS A PROFESSIONAL BOOK REVIEWER, I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. IF YOU DON'T LIKE ANYTHING OF THE FOLLOWING, DON'T REQUEST *SHRUGS*
MY REQUIREMENTS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
+ I WILL READ 3- 5 CHAPTERS OF YOUR BOOK; UNLESS YOUR BOOK IS SHORTER THAN THAT, THEN I CAN PROBABLY COMMIT.
+ I WILL READ ALL GENRES; MY ONE EXCEPTION TO THIS REQUIREMENT IS THAT I WILL NOT READ ANY BOOKS WITH THE MAIN THEME OF LGBTQ+ (SUB-PLOT OR SIDE CHARACTERS IS FINE) OR EROTICA/EXPLICIT (SMUT). I DO NOT MIND MATURE (18+) THEMES IN BOOKS AS LONG AS IT'S NOT THE MAIN POINT OF THE STORY. MY INTEREST WILL FADE. THIS IS BASED ON PREVIOUS READING EXPERIENCES AND I TRY NOT TO FORCE SOMETHING ON MYSELF IF IT JUST DOESN'T WORK THE FIRST TIME AROUND. MILD HORROR IS OKAY (ONE OF MY FAVORITE SERIES HAPPENS TO BE MILD HORROR.
+ I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DECLINE A REVIEW REQUEST WITHOUT CAUSE; SOMETIMES, I JUST DON'T GOT THE TIME TO READ AND DON'T WANT TO COMMIT. I HAVE A LIFE OFFLINE; I HAVE A JOB (I'M AN AUTHORS' ASSISTANT AND A PROFESSIONAL GRAPHICS ARTISTS), I'M FROM A HUGE FAMILY THAT ALWAYS HAS THINGS GOING ON. PLUS, I HAVE MY OWN BOOKS TO WORRY ABOUT. ITS A LOT OF BOOKS (BOTH COMPLETED AND SOME I AM CURRENTLY WRITING, SOME THAT I HAVE COMPLETELY DISCONTINUED OR FORGOTTEN)
+ DO NOT PLEAD WITH ME TO LEAVE YOU COMMENTS/VOTES; I AM NOT A SILENT READER UNLESS I AM REALLY INTO WHAT I AM READING. PLEASE KNOW THAT I BELIEVE VOTES ARE MANDATORY AND I WILL ALWAYS GIVE THEM IF I LIKE A CHAPTER (IT'S LIKE A SECOND NATURE TO ME). I USUALLY TEND TO LEAVE A COMMENT AFTER READING A CHAPTER, OR AN IN-LINE COMMENT ON SOMETHING THAT STOOD OUT TO ME.
+ I AM NOT GOING TO NIT-PICK ABOUT YOUR EDITING/GRAMMAR; I AM NOT AN EDITOR. I AM DYSLEXIC AND MOST D3FINITELY DO NOT NOTICE MISSING PUNCTUATION MARKS OR MISSING CAPITALS, ETC. EVEN IF SOMEONE ELSE THINKS IT'S BAD, IT JUST DOESN'T BOTHER ME BECAUSE I AM IMMUNE. AS A PRO BOOK BLOGGER, I GET BOOKS FOR REVIEW THAT ARE UNEDITED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ME READING/REVIEWING BEFORE THE BOOK IS RELEASED.
+ SIMPLE PAYMENT OF A FOLLOW TO THE ACCOUNT OF MY CHOICE; (THESE ARE AUTHORS I RESPECT AND THINK ARE DESERVING OF MORE FOLLOWERS, OF WHICH TWO IS MINE AS WELL- HadassaHarper, EMMalcolms, VixenFoxheart, ZorroIslandSeries, LadyZorro-Queen, DesignsbyEH) WHILE I THINK IT IS A COURTESY TO READ/REVIEW A BOOK FOR SOMEONE AND IT IS MAJORLY HELPFUL TO ALL AUTHORS, I ALSO THINK A FOLLOW IS THE BEST WAY TO SAY 'THANKS' - IF YOU'RE ALREADY FOLLOWING THEM, KUDOS. YOU GET GOLD STARS AND ONLY HAVE TO FOLLOW ME AS RECOMPENSE.
MY REVIEW(S) ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA; MY REVIEWS ARE SHORT, SWEET, TO THE POINT, AND NON-SPOILER. IT'S RARE THAT I HAVE A "LONG" REVIEW UNLESS I'M RAMBLING AND RAVING ABOUT THE BOOK AND IT'S CONTENTS.
+ DID THE BOOK CAPTIVATE ME FROM AT LEAST FIVE PAGES? (OR IN WATTPAD'S CASE, FIRST 2 CHAPTERS)
+ COVER (I TEND TO BE ONE OF THOSE READERS WHO GRABS A BOOK SOLELY BASED ON THE COVER. I KNOW THAT'S PROBABLY NOT THE BEST, BUT IT HASN'T FAILED ME YET)
+ CHARACTER(S) DEVELOPMENT AND RELATEABLITY (I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF "I LOVED THIS CHARACTER AND FOUND THEM TO BE RELATABLE AND/OR REAL." IF I FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT A BOOK/CHARACTER, WE'VE HIT GOLD!)
+ DOES THE BOOK MAKE ME WANT TO SEE IT AS A MOVIE SOMEDAY? (I ALWAYS READ BOOKS AS IF THEY WERE A MOVIE. BUT THERE ARE SOMETIMES WHEN I JUST FEEL THAT A BOOK BELONGS IN HOLLYWOOD)
IF I STILL HAVEN'T SCARED YOU AWAY BY NOW, FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ON THIS CHAPTER WITH YOUR REVIEW REQUEST OR SHOOT ME A PM. I WILL DO MY VERY BEST TO GET BACK TO YOU ASAP. IF YOU DON'T GET A REPLY FROM ME, DON'T BE DISCOURAGED. IT'S NOTHING AGAINST YOU. I'M JUST A MULTITASKING QUEEN AND SOMETIMES I TEND TO HAVE A LOT HAPPENING AT ONCE.
AS PROOF THAT YOU HAVE READ THROUGH EVERYTHING ABOVE AND YOU AGREE TO MY REQUIREMENTS/CONDITIONS, THE PASSWORD IS NICK WYLDE ◄ AND YOU MUST SPELL IT AS YOU SEE IT. I WILL KNOW IF YOU DIDN'T (THIS WILL CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME SO THAT I CAN KEEP PROPER TABS ON REQUESTS, AND KEEP PEOPLE ON THEIR TOES)
PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING FORM TO REQUEST A REVIEW (PLEASE SEE IN-LINE COMMENT FOR COPY&PASTE) ►
HERE IS THE FORM, WITH FURTHER EXPLANATIONS:
+ BOOK TITLE: I SHOULD KNOW WHAT I'M READING, RIGHT?
+ SUBTITLE/BLURB(OPTIONAL): JUST SOMETHING I ALWAYS SEE IN A FORM.
+ AUTHOR NAME(WATTPAD & REAL): I TEND TO THINK A PEN-NAME LOOKS PRETTIER ON A BOOK COVER, ON PAPER, ETC . . . BUT THAT'S JUST ME.
+ BOOK GENRE: THIS IS ALWAYS IN FORMS.
+ CHAPTER LENGTH(WORD COUNT): THE ONLY REASON I'M ASKING THIS IS SO THAT I CAN ESTIMATE/COMMIT MY TIME TO READING.
+ IS YOUR BOOK COMPLETED?: JUST A RANDOM QUESTION, BUT IN THE EVENT I WANT TO KEEP READING YOUR BOOK, I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE END.
+ NAME OF YOUR COVER ARTIST(WATTPAD USERNAME): SO I CAN GIVE THEM A SHOUT-OUT, AND RECOMMEND THEM TO OTHERS VIA DesignsbyEH.
+ LINK TO YOUR BOOK: I GOTTA KNOW HOW TO FIND IT, RIGHT? OKAY, FINE. I LINK MY REVIEWS BACK TO THE BOOK. SUE ME.
+ ELEVATOR PITCH: AN ELEVATOR PITCH IS A TERM WE USE FREQUENTLY IN THE BOOK INDUSTRY. SOMETIMES, YOU ONLY HAVE AS LONG AS IT TAKES FOR AN ELEVATOR TO GET FROM ONE FLOOR TO THE NEXT TO EXPLAIN YOUR BOOK TO SOMEONE WHO IS INTERESTED. GIVE ME A 1 OR 2 HOOK-LINE THAT WILL MAKE ME WANT TO READ YOUR BOOK.
PASSWORD(REQUIRED): IF I DO NOT SEE THIS, I WILL NOT ACCEPT YOUR REQUEST.
