What sucks living outside the US and UK as a reader is not having book events, signed copies, and exclusive editions!

Flipping through the pages of my worn out book, my mind tingles as I remember all of the relationships I’ve formed with paper characters.

Laughed, cried, hugged, kissed.

All of those precious memories embedded into my mind, yet they never happened.

Forming bonds with paper characters can be magnificent, but also troublesome;

Being in the moment, living a life you’ve always wanted, but the second you finish the last page, pressing the pages together as they once were, it stops.

You know it’s not real, yet you become attached.

So attached, that you itch to open the cover to read it ‘one last time’.

“We’ll meet again in another paper life, living more paper memories,” the main character promised. “So long as you bury yourself within the words.”

Here are a few things you should avoid in your first chapter!

• Slow opening. This gets the reader nowhere and won’t want to encourage them to keep reading.

• Cliché opening. Please don’t have your main character (MC) stand in front of a mirror and describe themselves from head to toe…

• Info-dumping. Reading every detail about the world you’ve created or even about a character isn’t exciting. Don’t toss readers every bit of information. Instead, sprinkle it in.

• No clear POV character. Don’t confuse readers by not establishing the narrator/who they’re reading from.

At Earley Editing, we offer a First Chapter Critique service and this list consists of many of the openings we initially read. It’s one of our favorite services, though, because we get to help writers improve their first chapters for agents and those query trenches!

There's a point of discussion going around in reader spaces (I've mainly seen it on booktok which is a fuckin garbage fire but still), about how book reviews are for the readers, and not for the authors, which is why authors shouldn't complain or feel upset over negative reviews. Reviews are solely for readers to look at so they can decide if they want to read a book, so authors shouldn't post their reactions or feelings about reviews, or at least negative ones.

Tbh, idk if I agree with this, I go back and forth, but I'm also looking at this from an author/writer perspective, rather than solely a reader perspective, so I know I'm biased. But from what I see and understand, this seems to be the general standing on reviews, most people agree that reviews are for readers and not writers.

So my question is then, IS there a space where readers can leave reviews FOR WRITERS?

Because for me personally, I don't care much about writing reviews for other readers. I write reviews when I enjoy a book because I want other people to read a book I think is great, but I I don't review books I don't like because I just don't care about books I don't like. If I don't like something just cuz it's not my taste, I don't write a review because my taste is MINE and different from everyone else's and I don't want to deter others from reading a book they might enjoy.

That's not meant to shit on people who DO write negative reviews btw, that's just what I do and gives context to how I'm feeling rn and what my perspective is. This also doesn't apply to problematic/bigoted books, I do write negative reviews when I believe a book is being -phobic or otherwise perpetrating something harmful in some way, but that is completely different to just not enjoying a book much. "I don't like it" ≠ "this is Harmful and Shouldn't Exist".

But ALSO, if I like a book, then often I feel I'm a writer who wants to tell this other writer what I like about their book. I want to compliment them and tell them they did a good job and ramble alllll about how much I love their story. In fact this is how I feel most of the time when writing a review, I find myself not caring quite so much if other readers read it, and more about letting this writer know they did a good job and that their story had an impact on me. This 100% is because I'm also a writer and understand what the author went through to get this book out into the world, and I understand that most readers are not writers and probably don't get that same feeling which is why reviews are seen as for readers and not for writers.

But from a writers perspective, if reviews are not meant for you, are not a good place to look for validation and encouragment about your writing for fear of stumbling over a negative review, then where IS a good place to look?

Where is a good place for readers to talk directly to the author and tell them how much they love their story? Or even a place where a writer knows that if there's criticism, it will be constructive, posed in a way to help them be better in the future rather than tear them down? Where can I write a review that talks directly to the author?
