Did you submit to the Solas House / Travelers’ Tales writing contest (results announced on 03/01/26)? Whether or not you placed in the contest, I hope you found the experience rewarding. That said, I know how frustrating it is to toil over a piece and never receive any feedback about what worked well and what did not — at least from one reader’s point of view.
As the primary judge for the competition, I did not have the time to provide feedback for the scores of pieces I read. However, I have kept notes. For a small fee to cover my time, I’ll take another look at your piece, review and complete my notes, and send you a paragraph of feedback. I won’t annotate your whole piece, but I can at least provide some basic information about my reading experience, and I can offer a few tips for the future. Turnaround is generally within 3-4 days (and often much faster).
