Obviously, this platform holds millions, if not billions, of stories so there's gonna be an influx of submissions at a certain point so please be patient. I'm just one person reading one story at a time.

Anywho

What separates this review shop from the others? Absolutely nothing. . . I hope. I aim to give you honest critiques and suggestions that could help develop your story—whether that's grammar, spelling, descriptions, dialogue etc.—and you as an author. So go into this with an open mind and just know it's not personal and completely my opinion so you don't have to take any of it into consideration. I don't have the best writing and maybe my storytelling is sloppy, gotta read my book Shadow Bands to find that out. Ah! How did that shameless plug get in there? Oh well. You get the point though. . .

I digress. Submissions are pretty simple. I'll be posting a rubric that holds vital information for me to judge your book and then a form. Follow that form to a T otherwise it will not be considered.

Let it be known that I prefer Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and everything in between. I can't bring myself to read FanFics and Smut. I'm sorry.
Will Read:
Fantasy
Sci-Fi
Horror/Thriller
Mystery
(Anything else, really)

Won't Read:
FanFics
Romance (with the exception of romantasy, IYKYK)
Smut
Anything that glorifies rape, pedophilia, necrophilia, and other types of the sort.

I'll most likely be doing one story every week of the month, so up to 3-4 stories will be accepted. The review being within that month, if not week. Please choose between 3-5 chapters for me to read. I know I won't get the full experience of your story, but these first few chapters will tell the reader a lot of what they're about to get into. If I like it I'll most likely keep reading it :)

Rules!(These are important)

1- Be patient: I'm not gonna be able to get to all of these stories and submissions will close before your story is even considered. It's not the end of the world, more opportunities will come. Obviously the review takes time but I'll give a time frame.

2-Be kind to other participants: It's a mean world out there but this is a safe place—this place specifically is safe. So let's be more supportive of each other's endeavors and feel free to give feedback of your own if you have that time. No bashing, or putting someone down. Immediate ban if you do. I take kindness very seriously, you should too.

3-Pay attention to reviewing status': I'll most likely disregard it, leaving your entry wasted if the status is closed. There will be a Status that gets updated in the chapter name when it's closed or open so look out for that.

4-Don't Spam: Immediately disregarded if you spam the comments. There's a difference between reentries, check-ups and spam.

5-Recommendations: These are allowed. Just let the person know that you're doing it so this doesn't blindside them when it's posted. I don't wanna rain on anyone's parade who are not willing participants. I will be checking with them also, so if they say no. . . tough luck, I guess?

Payment

All I ask is that you share this on your announcement board and tag me (@FrankEEla) when you're done. Also, in the form is one simple tag and a password. Spread the word. Help me help you help everyone. :)

There have been some edits done since the shop opened last time so submissions are gonna look different. . .
