What You Receive

Each submission receives:

  • TWO distinct perspectives: Feedback from both a Quibble editor and a guest editor—providing complementary insights into your work.

  • Individual editorial letters: Each editor writes 200–250 words (roughly one short page) of feedback. Combined, you receive 400–500 words of thoughtful, tailored response.

  • Craft-based evaluation: Commentary on structure, tone, clarity, cohesion, and emotional resonance.

  • Actionable suggestions: Guidance on next steps for revision, submission, or experimentation.

  • Reasonable timeline: Receive all notes within 4 weeks of submission.

Receive professional, affordable insights, while supporting a mission of community-centered artists and their editors.

“You don’t have to do it alone.  Constructive feedback can make all the difference in the life of your poem, if you know who to ask.  I recommend Quibble because they didn’t try to re-write my poetry to make it sound like their own.

 Instead, they gave me a few thoughtful insights and suggestions that I felt helped move my poems gently in the direction that they already wanted to go.  Great service!”
