Writer's Feedback Program
ECHO REVIEW is dedicated to supporting the craft of young and upcoming writers. That's why we offer feedback services for writers who may not have the means to pay for a traditional editor. The feedback program is available to writers 13-20 years of age.
Work submitted for feedback does NOT need to match ECHO's historical theme, with the exception of academic essays. Any other work, as long as it follows guidelines, will receive feedback.
