It was great to get feedback in Guild! That pointed out some things that were a bit confusing or unclear that I would not have noticed otherwise. 🙂

Feedback for this was very helpful too. I reworked some of the comparisons so that they’d have more context and be less abstract. I think after having it reviewed and edited it’s a lot more easy to read.
Writers Guild was very productive! The feedback was particularly helpful in understanding different ways some of the lines in the poem were interpreted and offered a lot of insight as to how I could improve upon it.
The Writing Center is a wonderful resource for writers to share their work. There are so many peers and advisors who are eager to read, revise, and encourage fellow writers. Matt Osuch was extremely helpful in reviewing my work and encouraging me to reflect on my creative process. Through a fresh reader’s perspective, I was able to clarify and refine my work to convey my intentions even better. Matt also asked what my specific concerns were so that he could address them as a priority. It was refreshing to collaborate with an editor whom I felt supported and validated by.
The feedback was very informative! I was interested to see how this piece was perceived and was pleasantly surprised at the varying responses. I’m glad it retained a ‘spooky’ sort of vibe reminiscent of the title.
“I am so glad that this revision process was a collaborative one. The feedback from my classmates and members of Writers Guild helped clarify and amplify the poem without losing its meaning or tone. I am thankful for a community of writers who prioritize good work and collaboration.”
“I often share my writing and get feedback that helps me maximize clarity. Sharing my poems with the DePaul Writing Center allows me to improve their clarity in imagery and organization.”

“Over the months that I’ve been working on these poems (and about a decade before that), Writers Guild has provided consistent community and support. When I came to DePaul as a returning student in 2008, I found Writers Guild and the UCWbL and discovered more writing community and opportunities for collaboration than I would have ever believed possible.”
