It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the Snowdrop Review Store.

Here your stories will be critiqued and judged in all ways possible. I would be reviewing your story to supply information in regards to where it is lacking. You will be provided a point by point description and suggestions.

I will not be scoring your story, for I believe that the author is the best judge of his/her own book. But, I will be pointing out the mistakes. Most of the reviews will focus on the negative aspects rather than the positive ones, this does not mean that they have been overlooked. My aim is to help you modify your book to the best version of itself, so I hope you will cooperate for the same.

Kindly go through the following conditions/ rules before filling up the form on the next page.

P.S. The rules have been placed in a random order, so if you have any doubts then please comment inline below at the specified place.

CONDITIONS/ RULES:

1. Please only submit stories written by you. Don't submit other people's stories. You can however recommend this review store to them.

2. I possess every right to refuse your story if it goes against my beliefs and personal values.

3. Kindly do not submit your story here if it's already being reviewed by someone else at the moment. Also, you are requested to submit a story which you will honestly be editing. Do not send me something that you don't want to improve.

4. If you are unhappy with the review then write on the inline comment space provided after each review for improvisations, only people whose book is being reviewed can write in that inline comment, rest may put their comments elsewhere as they wish.

5. Kindly be patient if your review doesn't arrive quite soon, I'll be updating a waiting list and everyone will receive reviews according to the number provided. All the reviews will be on a first come, first serve basis.

6. There is a payment for me to look through your work, it's mentioned below. Your review won't be published until the payment is complete. I'll be checking.

7. If you believe that the review is too harsh or in any way offensive, I am sorry for you to have come to the wrong place, I tend to be straight forward with my words. However, if you want it to be deleted, I would like for you to provide me a valid reason.

8. I can review for English books. But if they have a little bit of Hinglish then it's fine too. I, however, won't be reviewing proper Hindi books (for my Hindi grammar quite literally sucks.).

9. I won't be doing reviews for non-fiction, horror, and poetry genres due to inadequacy in knowledge about the said genres.

10. I won't read more than 3-4 chapters per request, you may request later for more chapters if required.

11. You must not change the cover and title of the story after submission of the form. In case a change in the author's name, the title of the book, cover of the book, etc.; takes place, then you must mention it in a reply comment to your form submission.

12. Only entrants who have followed the rules and posted the form in the correct place will be considered. 

13. If you want to cancel your entry then kindly inform it to me through PM. Before starting any review, I will be messaging the author of the said book in regards to the same, if i do not recieve an acknowledgement after 48 hrs I will move on to the next book in the queue. Also, if there is no response after 7 days, then your entry will be deleted from the waiting list and you'll have to go through the whole process again.

14. After I have posted the review, you are required to acknowledge the same, I would appreciate your thoughts. This is majorly for the entrants, but other comments are always acceptable.

15. Payment:

(a) You must follow me.

(b) You must give this book a shout out in your message board.

(c) You must read and comment on the 1st chapter of my book "The Paragon of Survival". The comments must be genuine and of at least 10-11 words. Comments like, "nice" or "great" will be overlooked and ignored.

(d) You must vote on the first 5 chapters of this book. This is mandatory, and a way to show your appreciation.

(e) You must add this book to your public and private (library) reading list.

If you have any questions, then comment inline here:

So that's pretty much it, fill the form up in the next chapter.
