Feedback can transform your writing — or completely derail your confidence — depending on how you understand it.
In this episode, Heather breaks down the four types of writing feedback every author needs to know (and only one that truly helps you improve). You’ll learn how to tell the difference between feedback that leaves you spinning your wheels and feedback that actually moves your story — and your skills — forward.
We’ll talk about:
✨ Why “positive” and “negative” feedback aren’t helpful labels
✨ The difference between praise, growth, general, and specific feedback
✨ The single quadrant of feedback that will supercharge your development as a writer
✨ How to stop fearing critique and start using it to become a stronger storyteller
By the end, you’ll know exactly what kind of feedback to ask for (and give!) so you can connect more deeply with your story — and your readers.
