Can you add a feature to rank 5 and above (to avoid spam) to allow them to submit grammar corrections to the author/editor? I know Wattpad has this feature on every line of the authors submissions. Could you add a feature like that as well? Thanks

    I don't think it's a good idea to allow everyone to submit a mistake. Someone with a poor grasp of English telling someone else with a poor grasp of English that something they wrote is wrong is a good way to make a story even worse.

      You can do it while you review and explain why you spat out a lower than five star writing rating. Besides, poor grammar isn't always poor writing.

      Sentence fragments when you want to increase tension or speed up pacing comes to mind.

        I think offering a correction is a whole lot more helpful than just dinging the review. Not that there is anything wrong with mentioning it in a review. I requested in my proofreading help in my author note and some readers were kind enough to help out via comment. I also started using Grammarly which I think reduced my errors a lot.

        Uhm there are sites out there that have a pop out text box after every line. With the number of comments listed.

        Example:
        Once upon a time.... blah blah blah (end of line) - 7 (Number of people who type something at the end of this line), To view the comments, just click on the word bubble with '7' in it. If nobody has posted any comments or suggestions at the end of the line, then by hovering the mouse at the end of the line, a text bubble shows up, and you can click and type whatever you want.

        Also, editors can browse the comment sections to see if someone posted any corrections they might want to fix. Or they can just read the comments to get a feel for what people think at that given sentence.
