Rules & Guidelines

-------Reviewing----


Reviewing: I will be reviewing your book based on a set of questions I have set aside. I will also be rating stories in these categories: Originality, Impact, Vision, Technique, Cover, and Summary. If you wish for me to answer specific questions, please list those questions in your application.   I will read your book in it's entirety or close to it. If you've submitted a book that is something I don't enjoy reading (the list below), I may not read your book completely.
PLEASE be advised that the OVERALL category is AVERAGING the total score together. Since I am working with physical stars, I have rounded it to the nearest whole number.
When I am done reviewing, you may opt in on having me edit your story without having to redo the application. Just PM me after I post your review.
Reviews: Dos & Don'ts
Dos: Vote on your review when I post it.
Don'ts: -submit to me a story that is in the following categories:
Teen Fiction 
Fanfiction: Celebrities
Fanfiction: Twilight
-Don't give me lip about not praising your book enough. This isn't an ego booster nor is it something to discourage. This is solely to help you improve as a writer and to show you what works and what doesn't.
Payment: It'd be greatly appreciated if you were to Read/Vote on one of my stories. 

-----Editing------


Editing: I will be editing your book based on the guidelines of writing set forth and written out by Purdue University. I will not edit your story through comments in Wattpad as it takes entirely too long to rewrite things. When I accept your application, please send me your story either by sharing it through Google Docs or by sending it as files. 
I will help you for a maximum of 50k words. So that means: if your story has 5k words a chapter, I will edit 10 of your chapters. Your file(s) must be sent to me in Google Docs or Word Doc. (Copy-Paste your story from Wattpad into a word processor and send it to me or create a google document and share it with me). I must have editing or suggesting rights.
Edits: Dos & Don'ts
Do: Send it as files. If by WordDoc or some other word processor, put the subject of your email as: "Wattpad Edit - (Name Of Your Book)". This is to keep gmail from accidently marking your email as spam and also for me to keep up with who has shared their story with me.
OR
Sharing a google doc with me. It would be greatly appreciated if you were to put your wattpad username at the top. I admit, this is entirely for me. My method of editing is a little unorthodox and I may forget who it is I am editing for.

My email is: sortadarkerayne@ gmail.com

Don't: -Send files without naming the document THE NAME OF YOUR STORY + WHICH CHAPTER IT IS. I need to understand the order of a story to help. I cannot stress enough how important this is.
-Send file with the whole story as one file without separating the chapters/parts. Again, I need to know the order of the story to actually edit it.
Payment: Read/Vote on one of my stories. Dedicate a chapter of your story to me as an editor (it does not have to be each chapter but please make sure you acknowledge that I have edited your story). Any story over 50k words that you would like me to edit on, please PM me for further details.
Put a food emoji in your application to let me know you read the rules. (If you lack emojis, type the name of an emoji)
Updated for clarity.
