What Do You Mean by That?: Receiving feedback and becoming an editor

Everyone, including yourself, has an opinion on your piece, but which opinion matters? What's the difference between criticism and constructive feedback? Knowing how to stand up for yourself and how to give an honest review of a story is essential to being a writer and an editor.

In this session, we will be defining the role and principles of being an editor, such as how to give constructive feedback, ask questions, and frame suggestions. On the writer's side, we will be looking at the feedback, how to break it down into manageable steps, and make executive decisions in order to defend your work and not feel discouraged. At the end of the session, you will leave feeling informed with a clearer understanding of the revision process.
