Tailored Editor Feedback

The Quibble Tailored Editorial Feedback provides constructive, personalized feedback from two editors from the Quibble team to help writers strengthen their work and better understand their craft.

  • Fee: $40 flat

  • Turnaround: Within 4 weeks

  • Scope: Up to 2,000 words of prose (one or two excerpts) or up to 4 poems

  • Editors: Garrett Souliere + a rotating second editor from the Quibble Lit team

This service is separate from Quibble's publication cycle. It exists to offer writers honest, encouraging feedback while supporting Quibble's mission to make writing mean more.

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.

  • Encouragement and direction: Notes focused on your strengths, growth, and writing goals.

  • Professional editorial tone: Feedback that is honest, respectful, and supportive.

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