You are much more likely to get what you want if you ask for it. In fact, my bestie and I had JUST started to communicate by email when I sent this:

"I was quite jealous when one writer told me this week that she always has at least two friends read over her pieces before she publishes them. I think extra pairs of eyes can make the difference. Let me know if you would ever like to do a reciprocal read-before-publishing thing."

I got lucky. He agreed!!

Good luck, Holly. I hope you find the right person for you. I was quite nervous at first and asked for "feedback on my feedback" to make sure I was getting the tone right. It is worth taking your time to find the right match for you. A💚
