Greetings!
I have read that self-promotion is a no no. What about feedback on writing I have put together? I am a mental health blogger; I have put a short eBook together covering my background and how I became a bully and an internet troll. I will also produce chapters detailing how I turned my life around. Can I post any of that on here to share what I am doing and, honestly feedback would be helpful. I live on government disability and cannot afford to pay anyone to edit my writing or give me feedback on it. What can I do here? Thank you so much!!

Im guessing its because psych central cant stay active if we are telling people to go else where and it could in some places be considered exploitation by having the mentally ill doing ones editing and reviewing without pay. kind of like in real life a mental health treatment provider would not ask mentally ill to read their books and blogs and suggest edits for it so that they can publish someday. think of it like this ... if you spent time reading and editing the courage to heal book or sybil or any other authors writing you would expect to be paid for your time and suggestions right. not just some one an author asks you to read and edit their work for free so that they can take all the credit and not credit you for doing the editing. (even editors in real life in america get paid for their time and energy and edits that they make to someones work) my suggestion is make a blog entry that asks for people to comment on the blog entries any suggestions that they may want to make. then set your blog settings at public so that search engines can list your blog when someone does a google search on topics that you blog about. |

Thank you for your feedback! I have an excellent writing software program I love and use all the time. I don't need help with editing. What blog are you referring to?

If you're here to give or get mental health support, that is the primary purpose of our little online community.
Since I see you've been here a year and a half with us and have over 1,000+ posts, I'd say you're here for the right reasons. Since you're an established member here, I think it would be fine to post your book chapters in order to gain some feedback. (Can't guarantee any results from doing so, tho...) However, I might also suggest that you find an amateur writing community online, where you'd be in the company of fellow writers, for additional feedback, if you're open to it. Best, DocJohn __________________ Don't throw away your shot. |

I cannot thank you enough!! You made my day!! Also, I am happy here. I feel at home and am making friends. I hope to help people with my writing.

We don't really have the greatest fit of forums for this kind of topic, but I believe the Creative Corner is where we ask people to post things of creativity and writing to:
https://forums.psychcentral.com/creative-corner/ Please make it explicit you would like feedback on your writing, if that's what your aiming for. Sometimes folks need to be reminded that it's okay to provide constructive feedback if the poster is asking for it. Good luck! __________________ Don't throw away your shot. |

Thank you, BonsaiGuy!
I see you found me, LOL And, yes, I am not posting it for sale. I will promote it for free because I remember the shape my finances were in when I was trying to get sober and figure out my life. I have added a Donation button on my blog if anyone wants to make donations. __________________ "Love you. Take care of you. Be true to you. You are the only you, you will ever know the best.
