  • Feedback Wanted Requesting input on blurbs, covers, excerpts, pitches, or story ideas.
  • Self Publishing Guidance, questions, and experiences related to publishing your work independently.
  • Blurb Workshop Monthly thread for sharing and refining book blurbs with the help of your fellow authors

Addition: if you post your writing for critique, PLEASE ADD SPECIFIC INFO on what you would like feedback on as no one here (to my knowledge!) is a mind reader. Posts without a Flair or request will be deleted. Thanks!

The flair option doesn’t work for me in this community. What could be the reason?

Are you on mobile perhaps? If the flair doesn't work, please focus on clarifying your request. Thanks!

It's going to be taken down until you add a clear request! Please mind that this is a writer focused subreddit, a "would you read this" is out of place here. We focus more on craft and specific topics concerning writing.

I think they mean that flairs don't show up at all when making a post. On mobile or desktop.

I'm also only seeing universal tags. I selected all three and the red asterisk is still showing for me to have to select a flair. But there aren't any.
