Finding Feedback

Writer in Residence Series

Learn how to give and receive meaningful feedback and be part of a writing community.

It's vulnerable to share our writing, especially because we want our work to be loved. As writers, we know the most supportive feedback goes beyond “I liked it; it was good." Join Writer in Residence Brandi Larsen as she shares proven methods to give and receive meaningful feedback designed to make your writing the best it can be and help you find the community who will champion your work. Presented in collaboration with Literary Cleveland.

As a publishing executive at Penguin Random House, Brandi's work helped books become bestsellers. As a journalist, her efforts earned Emmy nominations. As a speaker, her talks about publishing, leadership, and purpose inspire audiences from Zoom to Harvard. Her writing has been published widely in newspapers and magazines, literary journals, textbooks, industry guidelines, and online. She's the co-writer of UNCULTURED: A Memoir (St. Martin's Press), which earned starred reviews in Publishers Weekly, was recommended by the New York Times, and nominated as a GoodReads Choice Award Best Memoir of the Year.
