Peer Feedback

PEER FEEDBACK

Read generously. Look closely. Offer something useful.

Peer feedback is a contribution to another creator and to the community. Readers and viewers describe their experience, ask questions, and offer possibilities. They do not become co-authors or co-artists.

Feedback is serviceThoughtful attention is a meaningful contribution in its own right.
The creator keeps agencyFeedback can influence the work without taking ownership of it.
Editors make editorial decisionsFeedback providers recommend; editors decide what happens next.
Private editor comments stay privateSome concerns can be sent only to the editorial team rather than forwarded to the creator.

FICTION FEEDBACK

Readers respond to the reading experience.

The standard story form asks what is working, where the reader became confused or wanted more, how character, voice, or point of view landed, how pacing, structure, and ending worked, and what questions or possibilities the author might consider. Readers also recommend Accept as is or Request revision.

VISUAL ART FEEDBACK

Artwork is reviewed as artwork.

Standalone visual art uses an art-specific feedback form and editorial pathway rather than being forced through story questions. Feedback considers the visual work, its presentation, accessibility information, and the creator’s stated context.

THE WORKFLOW

What happens when you provide feedback

  1. Receive or accept an invitation.Editors can invite existing contributors or invite someone new by email.
  2. Access the assigned work privately.Unpublished manuscripts and artwork remain protected for the appropriate contributors and editorial team.
  3. Complete the active feedback form.The questions match the kind of work you are reviewing.
  4. Submit your recommendation and comments.Editor-only comments remain separate from creator-facing feedback.
  5. Your service remains part of your contribution history.Completed feedback appears in the Contributor Dashboard and can support milestone recognition.

WHEN REVISION HAPPENS

Creators can respond without pretending every suggestion became a change.

When revision is requested, the creator can respond to feedback in a structured table, describe the change made, or explain why they chose a different direction. The goal is reflection and clarity, not compliance.
