#70 Have Others Read Your Paper

Feedback.jpg


By: Riley Spitzig

Not sure how to get feedback from someone about your writing? Have him or her read your paper.

It is a good idea to have others read your paper because they can catch mistakes that you did not see.

This will make your writing better and writing will become a less stressful process.

You can have someone read your paper at any stage in the writing process, not just at the end.

A person could read it after the introduction or in the middle to see your thoughts and and writing thus far.

Asking for feedback can only help you!

Having no one read your paper will usually hurt you and your grade.

When you ask for feedback you can escape the boring hold and rut that writing sometimes involves.

Other people may offer a new perspective or a way of looking at something that you may not have even considered before.

Don't worry about feedback being negative.

Ask someone that you trust will give you constructive advice and not just say, "it sucks."

People may not know who to ask as well.

Basically, ask anyone you can trust to help you and wants you to succeed.

Having someone read your paper is worthwhile.

It can help you see mistakes in logic and reasoning, and it can help you catch grammatical errors.

Getting feedback makes your writing better because it is part of the revision and writing process.

Having others read your paper will ultimately make that paper better and you a better writer as a result.
