As screenwriter and playwright Art Holcomb advises, writers need to hear not only what is working from their first readers, but more importantly, what ISN&#39;T working. This may include things such as where the story lags, when the reader loses interest, and what parts aren&#39;t believable. Like a roller coaster engineer, the writer controls the dips and curves and turns that take the readers on a journey. Honest feedback will pave the path for that journey to be as authentic and as powerful as possible.</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-85/What-Writers-Need-to-Hear-from-First-Readers.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../What-Writers-Need-to-Hear-from-First-Readers.mp4</a></p> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/getting-feedback/w/peer-reviews/5954/what-writers-need-to-hear-from-first-readers---video/revision/1Mon, 23 Jan 2017 17:08:55 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:a9149f11-f598-4091-a074-93b108616c4fArt Holcombhttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/getting-feedback/w/peer-reviews/5954/what-writers-need-to-hear-from-first-readers---video#commentsRevision 1 posted to Peer Reviews by Art Holcomb on 1/23/2017 5:08:55 PM<br /> <div class="asl-wikipage-summary"> <p>It&#39;s never easy to hear negative feedback or criticism about your work, but it&#39;s critical that all writers get honest feedback about their writing style and their story.
