I like to give anything I read two readings: the first to see the direction the author is taking, and the second to suggest actual revisions. I will make as complete a review as possible, but if you have specifics you would like me to focus on, feel free to point them out. The review will be a form of constructive criticism. Not everything I have to say about the piece will be positive, but the best way to improve is to learn from mistakes.

My strengths include grammar--including tenses, punctuation, and sentence structure--spelling, characterization, and overall description in stories.

As a writer myself, I struggle with plot, fulfilling the "why" in a story. It is something I hope to improve on by writing myself, as much as anything else.

I prefer stories with humor, wit, but they do not have to fall into the "humor" category. I enjoy sci-fi and fantasy also.

No poetry please.
