How to give (and get) writing feedback
- cjbarber 11mo agoI first read this piece years ago, I think it's really great advice. Tl;dr is: > When a writer asks you for feedback on their writing, what they really want is to know is: > What’s going on in your head? > What are you thinking? > How do you feel? > When you agree to give feedback on a piece of writing, your job is to notice what’s happening in your head and share it with the author. > The best way to do this, in my opinion, is simple: leave notes on everything. In other words, try to give the writer your play-by-play reaction to every part of their piece.
