Together you create a clear timeline for your writing projects - your next chapter, article, proposal -, you help each other to stay on track with deadlines, and you exchange drafts. Receiving confidential feedback from someone outside your field can be especially helpful in making your texts clearer and more accessible.&nbsp; If you are interested in engaging with a peer’s writing in exchange for feedback on your own, you are welcome to <a class="e-mail-link" href="mailto:byrd@vw.uni-bremen.de?subject=Writing%20Buddies">email us</a>.
