Giving and receiving critique is one of the most powerful tools a writer has — and one of the most uncomfortable. Too vague, and it’s useless. Too harsh, and it shuts creativity down entirely. Too nice, and it doesn’t help the author. This short, practical guide is designed to help writers offer feedback that is clear, constructive, and kind, while also learning how to receive critique without defensiveness or overwhelm.
Whether you’re part of a writing group, working with beta readers, or learning how to self-edit more effectively, this guide will help you approach critique with confidence. This resource reflects the principles I use in my own mentoring and editorial work — thoughtful, collaborative, and always centred on helping writers move forward.
