I am new to beta-reading, but I have experience in reading peers' writing and critiquing it. I always use constructive critism, and I try not to be too picky. Also, I have an eye like a hawk for grammatical errors, as I'm currently the editor-in-chief for our school newspaper, which has given me practice. The only expectation I have is that the writer looks at his/her work and checks it for errors to the best of potential before sending it to me.

I am good at writing descriptive passages and fairly good at writing dialogue. I am also good at character development. Mood ranges from drama to humor/light stories-I'm drawn more to drama but can write both.

I'm sometimes a stickler for conventional formal writing styles, although I do try to respect the writer's choice in storytelling. As for writing, I struggle to keep characters in-character sometimes, as well as with romantic writing.

There are not a lot of stories I wouldn't beta-read- please see 'Not My Cup of Tea' for specific works NOT to send me. I prefer works in the third point of view. Will beta-read for all ratings.

I generally don't like stories that follow their movie's plot verbatim. Please do not send me re-writes of a /br /br /br /

Also Sci-Fi and Fantasy (time-traveling, etc.) and self-inserts. (General OCs are usually okay.) I will, however, accept these to beta if they are above-average works. (The main reason I do not like these are that many of them are poorly written.)
