hey, everyone, i am finally back! I have way too many notifications to be able to respond to everyone, so if I don't respond to an urgent notification or request, feel free to let me know! 
          	
          	although I am back, I will not be active after this post, as summer is ending and my schedule is packed tight for the fall/winter season. additionally, i've been considering closing Essie's Critiques for good, as 122 parts is pretty long, and i've found several issues with my system and rules. 
          	
          	Instead, I may be opening an Essie's Critiques 2.0! Please let me know what you think below; any feedback or suggestions are welcome! I'll try my best to reply when I can. 
          	
          	Thank You!

@WritersBlock1316 I’d so love an Essie’s Critiques 2.0! Your critique book was the best one I’ve ever read, I’ve never seen any stupid advice given there like “you need to change the main character’s name”, you only ever gave constructive criticism that could sometimes be brutally honest, but never came across as hate or anything like that. You never said “I hate this” and left it at that, you were always “I think your book could be improved by doing etc”. I requested a review from you when I was very new to writing and publishing on Wattpad and your review left a very helpful, long-lasting impact on me. I still sometimes come back to it when I need to remember what weakness I need to avoid—and I also come back to the reviews you leave for others, to make sure I don’t make similar mistakes. 
          	  
          	  So, yeah, a second critique book would be super cool! Sorry for this long rant lol

Hello, there! I’m a new writer, and I have completed a YA dystopian novel offline for publishing purposes. However, I’m having a lot of trouble with self-editing my novel, and I could really use a second pair of eyes on my work. My biggest issue is reducing the word count that I currently have (which sits over 100k words, and I really need to reduce that word count to make it acceptable debut material for literary agents outside of Wattpad). If you wish to accept the challenge of editing and beta-reading at the same time, would you mind sending me a message through my email? My email is jenny821k@hotmail.com, if you want to know that. Please delete this message as soon as you send me your message through email.

Thank you for reviewing my story. You have helped me locate my weaknesses. I am currently  working on fixing the errors on Just Listen, and I hope that we'll work together again. I really appreciate it :)

@DELIGHTTULIP I’m glad I could help! I look forward to working with you again in the future!

I have officially completed all the reviews for June! I apologize for those who had to wait a long time, and I apologize in advance for those waiting to apply! I'm currently working on a big project right now, and afterward I'm going on vacation with my family for about a month, so Essie's Critiques will be closed probably until September. I will still be active for now to answer any questions you may have, but the queue is closed to any applicants. Thank you!

@WritersBlock1316 I am very eager to know what that project is about *-*
