5 Free Ways to Get Feedback on Your Writing

Your Next Draft

You can get fantastic feedback on your writing for free. But first, you need to know whom to seek out, when to ask for feedback, and what kind of feedback to ask for.
Ask the wrong people, and you’ll get uncritical praise, unhelpful critique, or even rejection.
But ask the right people . . .
Ask the right people, and you’ll get feedback that:

• Helps you finish your first draft
• Prepares you to work with an editor
• Helps you integrate a professional editor’s notes

You can even get the kind of feedback that professional editors can’t give you!
In this episode, I’ll show you where to find the right people to ask for free feedback. You’ll learn:

• 5 types of people who will give you feedback for free
• The pros and cons of each type of feedback
• When in the editing process you should seek out each type
• The people you should NOT ask for feedback
• How to combine free feedback and paid feedback for the greatest benefits
• And more!

Even if you plan to hire an editor, you can apply free feedback in strategic ways to craft your best book. Listen to the episode and I’ll show you how.
