Feedback Friends Forever - A Monthly Matchmaking Thread For Writers
Are you a writer looking for that special someone to read your work? Find them here
There are 16,000 writers subscribed to the Forever Workshop AND NOBODY IS TALKING TO EACH OTHER.
Well, some of you are — our first few Community Corner discussions have shown what a wealth of generous and thoughtful writers we have here. ❤️
But guys, we could harness these superpowers for even more good stuff!
Introducing: Feedback Friends Forever - our lowkey attempt at a “dating app” for writers.
(Except its not for dating, it’s for finding someone to trade feedback with, and it’s not an app... hmm. Whatever.)
Feedback Friends Forever is a monthly callout post for paid subscribers to throw your hat in the ring and find a writer buddy to exchange work with.
So go get yourself a friendly forever workshop beta reader!
First, build your line…
Pick a hashtag from each of the categories below that best describes the piece you’d like feedback on:
How often would you like to communicate with your feedback friend?
# Multiple times a week
# Weekly
# Bi-weekly
# Monthly
Genre:
# Poetry
# Fiction
# Nonfiction
# {insert other genre}
Length of piece:
# Short (Up to 1,000 words)
# Medium (Up to 10,000 words)
# Long (Up to 50,000 words)
# Super long (50,000+)
Finish it off with a couple key words about your piece, stuff like:
# Topic
# Theme
# Emotion
# Vibe
Once finished, your line should look like this: #Daily #Poetry #Short #Womanhood
Then, go to the comments…
Step 1: Drop your line directly in the comments, then scroll through and “like” any lines that you vibe with.
Step 2: When someone likes your line, go read theirs.
Step 3: Say hi, have a chat, and if you’re a match, exchange contact details and take it from there.
Step 4: Once you’ve found a feedback friend, delete your line so you don’t have to feel shitty telling others you already found a feedback friend.
