Feedback Fundamentals: How to Give and Receive Writing Critique

Learning how to effectively give and receive feedback is key to becoming a better writer. At its best, feedback draws you into dialogue between yourself and other writers as well as between yourself and your own writing—that motivates you to return to the page. This webinar will provide strategies for both incorporating and declining critique as well as assessing others’ writing with the aim of providing constructive suggestions, whether participating in a writing workshop, working with a mentor, or building the courage to show someone a new piece of writing for the first time.

This event is hosted by Delane Just as a Zoom webinar. A host-facilitated Q & A will follow the presentation.
