I'm a self-pu blushed author and thought that it would be great to get peer reviews of my new novel. This site, however, is so poorly designed that the frustration is outweighing the benefit. They recommend Firefox or Chrome, but I experience weird problems, bad formatting, grayed-out text boxes, inconvenient navigation, with both browsers. The Help section is poorly written, a big surprise for a site supposedly for and by writers.
If you can put up with the frustrations of the site, you might get some benefit.
Format: Hard to navigate at first. Set up for reviews is nice though. Hard to find things.
Forums: Friendly and insightful, but slow paced, so not my number one choice.
Critique: Majorly Meh. Good feedback sometimes, but after six months, I'm just not impressed. Writers are trying WAY too hard. I haven't posted my work yet, but after reading some of the reviews there, I don't think I will. Some seem to be really helpful, but others seem to point out "problems" in the story just for the hell of it. There is a rating system there too, and a few times I have seen one guy in particular rate down a book that rose above his. It's always the books that are right above his and he rates them with 1s or 2s to bring them down. Thing is, the books he's rating this way are *******s times better than his novel. So far, seems like a popularity contest and cliquish at times. However, I've also seen some really constructive reviews as well. I think nay time you have writers rating other people's books, there's going to be a problem. Exchanging critique is better done without the added "rating" feature. Rating features should be for readers.
