The Critique

About the Critique

Hey everyone, This is just a book I created for those who want honest, valuable feedback for their stories. I'm gonna be truthful, I'm not perfect, so if you read my stories, don't expect every thing to be upsie-daisy perfecto.  Just to let you all know, I'm known for my honesty. Like flat-out. You want my opinion, I'll give it to you straight. There are very few stories on Wattpad that have impressed me greatly. Cliche overload, but then again, no story is the same as another (unless you copied word for word.) Every story is different, and unique in its own way. You will never see me commenting with, "This is a complete cliche." That's basically telling you that you suck at writing your own story, so stop. No, that's just not cool. I mean I honestly don't understand why people think that as "useful feedback." So here, I am critiquing your story in the best way I can. I will be honest. Flat out. Don't expect me to be a nice little girl. Be ready for the blow

Here's how it works:

1) You will private message me with this format:

Name: John Doe 

Title of Book: La La La 

Summary: Blah Blah Blah 

Link to story: www.wattpad.com/something/something

What exactly you want me to look for in your story: I'm wondering if my characters are okay, or I want to know if my setting is established properly

AS OF JULY 9, 2014, ONLY STORIES IN THIS FORMAT WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR A CRITIQUE. 

2) There is NO payment because I've tried it and it's too difficult to keep track and etc. so I just decided to go back to my selective process. Basically, I get to choose which stories I will critique, so there is a chance that your story may not be a part of my critique book. But if you really feel like there's something wrong and you need my help asap, PM me and I'll see if I can just give you some pointers (: 

That's really the process; not much too it, huh? 

Some of the reviews will be shorter than others; don't expect length to define how much I like your story. Your story's review could be two words long, but in those two words I could say how amazed I was at your story. So don't get caught up if you see that your review is shorter than some of the other ones, it's not always a bad thing.

If you aren't sure whether your book needs a critique, read these tips: 

1. If you have over 10 chapters, I will most likely, 90% sure that I will not critique your story. Reason One: Too many chapters and by that time, your plot is probably established. You should've come to me earlier. 

2. I prefer new writers and new books. Do not ask me to read a book from 2010 that you just thought could use a little brush up. No, that's not what this is for. This is for honest, brutal critiques of stories that want and need help. 

3. This is NOT FOR YOUR PROMOTION. If you want to publicize your book and spread it to the world, fine by me, but don't ask for a critique just so that people know what your book is. I'm not your advertisement. 

4. If you need grammatical help. Yes, please send in a request. 

5. Idea crisis. Yes, send in a request. But only after you've written at least 2 chapters. 

Also, remember to keep in mind that I'm very honest and can get a little harsh, but hey, it's for your own good. So don't hate on me if I tend to go overboard or anything.  Well then, good luck to you and happy posting!
