Part of Be read
Direct feedback requests
Ask a specific writer for a read instead of waiting on the queue.
Sometimes you want notes from one particular person. A direct feedback request goes straight to a writer you choose, with the piece and what you want them to look at.
Direct requests are free. The writer gets a clear ask and can take it or pass, and you can turn requests off if you would rather not receive them.
What it does
- Send a read request to a specific writer, free.
- Say what you want them to look at, not just hand over the piece.
- Let them accept or pass without pressure.
- Turn direct requests off if you would rather not receive them.
