          	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.

@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

Hi Essie @WritersBlock1316 ! I don't know if you remember me, but you reviewed a couple of my stories here back in 2021, Killjoy Institution and Welcome to Trench. I was rereading those entries in your critique book and I forgot I had mentioned to you then that I would want you as an editor when I was ready to have an actual book published. I have a manuscript done now that I would love to have you critique. It's actually a reworked version of one of my stories here, Jessica Kills, but untitled as of right now and a lot more fleshed out thanks to some advice from family and my last professor. Like I said, I would love to have you look this over and maybe we could continue working together for future projects, because I still really admire your editing style. I don't know if you're active here anymore, but please let me know if this is something you'd be interested in at some point. No worries if not, I am just grateful for the time and effort you spent on my other stories, and I hope that one day you will get to read the published version of Killjoy Institution, because it's still one I want to fully finish once I have the time. I can't wait to hear from you and I hope you're doing well. Talk soon! :)

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 *-*
