I’m providing feedback to other writers across a few groups and I found this article made me think about my current feedback and how it can be more effective. Thanks for sharing 👍

Totally agree, it’s vital. And also agree with Rebecca that it becomes pointless if it’s purely fluffy. I think there is a huge difference between being critical and being nasty — the latter of which is just destructive and as pointless as only saying nice things.

One thing I do wish is that magazines and competitions would routinely give feedback on pieces they’re rejecting. And I know why they can’t, but it would just be so helpful!
