Part of Be read
Peer feedback
Trade honest notes with other working writers, one read for another.
Peer feedback is a fair exchange. Offer a read, request one, and get notes from someone doing the same work you are, not a stranger and not a model.
It is free for everyone. Feedback is human and specific, the queue keeps the exchange balanced, and you choose who you trade with.
What it does
- Offer and request reads in a balanced peer exchange, free.
- Get specific, human notes from other working writers.
- Choose who you trade feedback with.
- Keep the exchange fair with a queue that balances giving and receiving.
