Send Me Your Writing! (Announcements)

[@richardglady3009]

Wow…what a wonderful opportunity. Thank you.

[@kenbryan339]

This is so great! Having feedback is such a needed part of developing writing skills that most people might not have at hand

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Thanks--that's the idea!

[@Jesus_Christ.Mary-and-Joseph]

The expansion you provided is quite broad. As a follower, we are eager to witness enhancements in our writing outcomes! 🤩

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Thanks!

[@PixelatedApollo1]

This is a really cool idea. I would love to read or hear some of your work Andrew.

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Thanks! I do have a video coming soon with a little of my own work (though probably not what you have in mind...). Maybe the first of more to come 🙂

[@AsuraSantosha]

How exciting! I'm so happy to see all the ways you've grown this channel over the years! Thanks for continually finding ways to engage with your loyal viewers and provide us with more. It's an incredible resource and I'm so thrilled that you always try to find ways and options that work for all types. Thank you for all that you do!

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Thanks, that means a lot!

[@DMencia1997]

Yes, writing with flow was such an amazing video for me, would love to see it in examples others send you.

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

This is exciting! I loved your writing with flow videos. They helped me so much!

[@EricksJourney]

It's like your read my mind ! Was literally about to recommend some kind of feedback weekly video of essay reviews. but, I was going to suggest famous essays but this is better!

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Hey, thanks--great minds 😉

Unbroken I’ve walked to and from I’ve walked with and without And I’ve walked with you It’s just a curiosity on a morning walk Today I am alone but I’m thinking of you And how you would be taken at the oddity Of this ornament, broken by the side of the road Laying on its side, bulb cracked, wires exposed The fence post lamp has been knocked down, undone Most trivial - unimportant And most would just walk on by But you And I think of all the questions you have And the hows and the whys And all the plans defined and formulated To unmain, to heal, to rectify You are not here, still you’re with me And I carry your wonderings And your plans, and your awe Your abandon to that simple moment I’ve walked to and from I’ve walked with and without Today I walk alone With your hand in mine And in every step, I feel your heart And in a broken lamp, your shining light How much of you Has unbroken me

[@DaringDanielletravels]

This is fantastic! I can't decide what to send in first 😀

[@gettingthere007]

Great! Will submit

[@Agnal_the_writer_and_poet]

I have submitted right now. Kudos!

[@Grain-h7u]

I've submitted too. Did you get an email for confirmation that your work is submitted?

[@ElliotBrownJingles]

An excellent idea! There will be a lot of us happy to pay for writing consultation with a professor who specialises in Classical Rhetoric. It's about time somebody offered this service. I went to Law School for a year because I wanted to learn more about Rhetoric but (to my horror and surprise) Law School was full of Law. Had a consultation service such as you are offering been available I would have been spared the ordeal!

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Thanks a bunch! A little too late to save you from law school, but not too late to be useful, I hope! 😆

[@sopa4518]

WOOOOO!!!!

[@mohamedmetawea1851]

❤ That sounds good ❤

[@cluelessangel5292]

Can we send in multiple works (poems in my case)?

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Do it!

[@cluelessangel5292]

@@WritingwithAndrew Is it for free or does it come with a charge? 😇

[@WritingwithAndrew]

It depends--sending it in for a video is free, but one-on-one feedback isn't (and the information for that is on the site linked in the description)

[@cluelessangel5292]

@@WritingwithAndrew oh I only meant it for the video feedback on youtube :) (I'm nit eligible for the online consultations anyway, bc I'm from Europe :( ).

[@WritingwithAndrew]

I see. Hopefully, I can open the feedback up internationally eventually (it's just a much more complex thing that wasn't possible here at the start)

[@12-OneTwo]

Greetings, What would be the ideal story type you'd want to feature? Sincerely.

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Anything would work--but rough drafts are best since they'll give us more to talk about in videos

[@12-OneTwo]

@@WritingwithAndrew Understood.

[@Islaras]

wowwww

[@12-OneTwo]

I have sent a short story. Will I receive a confirmation through mail?

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Thanks--I don't think you will, just the confirmation that pops up when you complete the form

[@12-OneTwo]

Alright.

[@HeleneOl-os3uq]

Btw, How many poems can i send?

[@WritingwithAndrew]

It's up to you--send one or send a few

[@magoschonkers711]

Can i send two different examples?

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Yes!

[@magoschonkers711]

@@WritingwithAndrew Submitted! But I may have messed up the first submission.

[@ThoughtfulManiac]

When's the last date for submission? Just asking because it isn't taking mine currently due to some technical issues ☹️ (I've tried like atleast thirty times so far) Edit: finally done!

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Glad it worked--no deadline, though. They're open for the foreseeable future

[@maureen1299]

I sent in a poem, would love to hear your constructive feedback! Thanks!

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Thank you--I've got a good number to review, but keep an eye out for it in a video sometime in the future!

[@bsdpowa]

are those terms and conditions standard for this type of thing?

[@WritingwithAndrew]

I don't know that this type of thing is very standard (collecting viewer submissions), but, yes--it's inspired by the kinds of agreements that literary publications often use: the idea is that you're giving me permission to reproduce whatever you submit (e.g., in a video) but that there are no restrictions on what you do with it from there (i.e., if I use it, that doesn't mean you can't publish it somewhere else on your own). Of course, I am not the lawyer, but that's my paraphrase of the agreement (and it's the language there that actually counts)

[@bsdpowa]

@@WritingwithAndrew Thank you for the explanation!

[@WritingwithAndrew]

You bet!

[@yapdog]

I'm tempted to send along the first chapter of my novel that I'd published in 2020, but I've taken enough abuse from you, my good sir! Good. Day!

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Abuse? Never--I say listen to temptation (responsibly)... 😁

[@yapdog]

@@WritingwithAndrew 🤣! I always love your sense of humor, dude😁 Well, honestly, I wouldn't be looking for a critique since I'd already published it. I'm sure you'd find plenty to criticize, tho😅. As a non-historic literary cinematic writer, you'd think I'd be in the sweet spot. _Nnnnope._ While I have received some over-the-top high praise from a few scholarly types, readers generally don't dig my flow. My writing tends to be on the outside; not conformant enough for genre readers, not "high-brow" enough for literary readers. Yet I'm using a lot of devices even in the first chapter that readers have yet to detect. For example, I'm using white room syndrome, head hopping, and mirroring in unconventional ways, "spatialism" that could be disorienting for genre readers (they have to reread passages several times), and symbolism and subtext that, frankly, no one has picked up on. So, I'm pretty much moving on from promoting my work, and am iffy about publishing another novel... though my wife would be mad at me if I don't continue the series. Anyway, all that to say that I'll submit it if you think it might be useful to you. I'll just send the first chapter, but feel free to say that it got lost in the (e)mail😅

[@yapdog]

@@WritingwithAndrew submitted. sorry😅

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Thanks! (Maybe...)

[@yapdog]

@@WritingwithAndrew 😅😅😅!!! Oops, my novel is called "Loophole of the Gods." You'll see the title in the page header. I thought I'd make that clear since there was no notes area on the submissions page, and you're likely getting flooded with works. Anywho, take care, fella🙂

[@rockyyan5938]

It's not working, kept asking "I'm not a robot." Maybe because I am in China?

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Possibly. I'll confess I don't know all the reasons that someone would fail a captcha...but I'm sure the internet has answers somewhere 😅

[@AsuraSantosha]

If you're trying to submit from a phone or tablet, it may not work. I beleive Captcha utilizes mouse movements as part of its test. If you move your mouse like a human, it believes you. Since there is not cursor on a phone or tablet, it may not work. I thought Captcha used a different metric for phones and tablets, but I'm not an expert. Either way, if you were not trying it from a desktop computer, you could try that, it might provide better results.
