How can you provide meaningful feedback to other writers when reviewing their work?
On Jul 03, 2024
Before you dive into someone else's work,recognize the dual responsibility that doing so entails.First,unless you've been specifically asked to rewrite something in your own style or to change the emphasis of the message,remember that your job is to help the other writer succeed at his or her task,not to impose your writing style or pursue your own agenda.In other words,make sure your input focuses on making the piece more effective,not on making it more like something you would've written.Second,make sure you understand the writer's intent before you begin suggesting or making changes.If you try to edit or revise without knowing what the writer hoped to accomplish,you run the risk of making the piece less effective,not more.
