INTRODUCING LITERARY SPOILING
If you're a lover of literature or literary works, you must have come in contact with literary criticism or literary studies. Over the years, this field has been dedicated to sound interpretation of literary works, and of the use of methods and/or literary theories to decipher meaning to the creative works and also evaluate them, etc.
But despite the fact that literary criticism is not focused on fault finding p***e, many writers entertain some form of phobia when their works are subject to such intense scholarly evaluation. Some do not want such exercise at all.
In ACER WRITING HOUSE, we are a writing firm that understands the importance of such exercises. We also think that writers should be bold enough to even bear evaluations that do not necessarily follow some strictly laid down blueprints, but a line of unconventional tools and techniques founded on literary knowledge. This is why we've come up with the initiative known as "literary spoiling".
Literary spoiling is not about the conventional spoilers, where future events of finished arts are made known to readers even before they read or watch the scenes, thereby, killing the expected suspense intended. It's about reading a yet-to-be published work or even a published work with the sole aim of finding faults where necessary. Yes, we find faults. We do not praise your work. We are into fault finding.
The philosophy behind literary spoiling is to look for hidden blunders and then advise on the way forward. This is not an editing service, it is not to solve grammar or punctuation defects, we instead tell you the problems with your work, your grammar, punctuation, scenes, setting, plot, approach, character, etc. We speak only the bad or worse about them, so as to help the authors see what was not seen and improve their works. The aim is to improve your work at the end. We use the negatives to gain the positives.
Our services can be overall or in parts depending on what you want. When we spoil a work, we give recommendations of professional repairers who can fix them. These repairers are not necessarily in our employ. Most of them are independent professionals who are contracted to repair bad works. To us, every work is bad until labelled good.
Points to note:
1. Our spoiling reports are not published online, they're privately delivered.
2. Authors who intend spoiling their works can do so anonymously through another proxy author or sender, or even do so directly if they so wish.
We believe that writers must be ready to embrace spoilers, and the technical art criticism if they must grow.
