Standards and Expectations for Revising

My approach to revision is in a way that is both constructive to the writer and the reader. As in every text we should be clearly taken through the text I also believe that we should learn something new from every text. The text should not completely cater to the reader as it is the result of the writers hardwork. Based on the reading it was expressed that you should treat the writer the way you would like to be treated. I am agree with this statement but only so much that the writer is not overly critical or negative but it still serves my purpose. As I am dyslexic I appreciate when a reader catches my grammatical and spelling mistakes because I know there can be many. I expect that the reader will be indepth in their critics and make it so that it maintains my original thought yet emphasis it. My standards for revising will be simple. Revise the text as is and not compare it to anything else. Take the expectations that I have of my reader and treat them with the same courtesy.
