Feedback & Support

1) Course message board​
I am available throughout the week in our course community—a private, secure group space (using Slack) where you can ask questions and get answers, plus interact with other writers. (Don’t worry if you haven’t used it before. I will help you navigate any technology that is new to you.)

2) Editorial Review of Your Submission
During the course, I read your submission and give you 1:1 editorial feedback, with concrete revision suggestions, and ideas to develop your poems further.
