Grauman’s claims that getting feedback is the best way to improve your writing. I agree with this statement. I believe that feedback can be very helpful. Having someone read your writing then give you the need advice that they think could improve your writing. When being given feedback, you have to keep in mind that there are 2 different types of feedback. Sometimes you can get positive feedback that shows you what is great about your writing and what needs to stay or be expanded upon. However, the negative feedback is what needs to be focused on more in my opinion. When receiving negative feedback, it is important to realize that negative feedback is the best kind because you will not always realize what is making your writing worse. I feel like if I am told what I am doing wrong, it would be much easier for me to learn and become a better writer. Grauman also gives types on how you should give feedback. If you give suggestions, questions, and comments on how you understood the writing, the writer will know exactly where to go back to and edit what they need to edit. Another big thing about feedback is also deciding whether you should take it or not. It is ultimately up to the writer whether they use the feedback to improve their writing, but I believe every writer should at least consider the feedback they get.
