Скачать или смотреть Handling Criticism Like a Pro: How Authors Can Deal with Negative Feedback

You’ve poured your heart into your book—and then someone leaves a 1-star review. Ouch.

Before you spiral, let’s talk about what to actually do with negative feedback, criticism, or even rude comments.

In this video, I break down the three kinds of feedback authors get (and how to handle each):
1. Constructive criticism (the kind that helps you grow)
2. Personal taste feedback (it’s not about you—it’s about them)
3. Rudeness (delete, block, move on)

You’ll learn how to:
✨ Recognize useful feedback vs. noise
✨ Build emotional resilience as an author
✨ Protect your creative energy and keep writing

If you’ve ever wanted to handle reviews with confidence instead of anxiety—this one’s for you.
