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 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.
