Available now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. In this episode, author @Claus Holm joins to discuss his journey as a writer, the experiences that shaped his storytelling, and the themes explored throughout his work. So excited to share this inaugural episode with you all! It's going to be lots of fun!

***NOTE*** Go to "Classroom" and then to "Exposure Therapy" to truly begin. The greatest gift you can give another writer is your attention. Exposure Therapy allows members to submit their work for feedback from the Writer Therapy community, but that's useless if no one gives them feedback. That's why you are the key :-)The goal here is to streamline the process. To make it easy for you and for the writer to get clear answers about their writing. We may refine this process as we continue, but here is how you can give feedback to your fellow writers. RULES: 1. The Golden Rule - treat others the way you want to be treated. But if you like being treated like a jerk, then maybe Exposure Therapy isn't for you ;-) 2. Give thoughtful, useful feedback. It takes a lot to put your work out there, give writers the respect they deserve. 3. While thoughtful, also be concise. We want actionable feedback that won't create analysis paralysis. 4. Again, seriously, don't be a jerk - you'll get booted. STEPS: 1. Treat it like a course. Go to the "Classroom" tab and then to the "Exposure Therapy" course. 2. In the course page, you'll find "Chapters" or folders, each containing one submission from our members. They will be numbered for your convenience–the newest ones will always be on top. 3. Go through each "lesson" in order, check them off as you go. The first lesson in every Chapter/Folder will always have a PDF that you can view or download. 4. Go through the Feedback lessons X.1 through X.4 and add your comments to the requested feedback. This will give our community members an organized way to consume your thoughtful feedback. 5. Pat yourself on the back. You did something really special for a fellow writer.

***NOTE*** Go to "Classroom" and then to "Exposure Therapy" to truly begin. Exposure Therapy is your opportunity to get dedicated, focused feedback from the Writer Therapy community. Right now, we will be adding one new piece for review per week. You must be at least a Level 2 member to submit. This ensures that you're contributing to others in the community–give feedback, get feedback. That may change as we go forward. Follow the steps below to submit your work. Steps: 1. Create a PDF with a writing sample up to 3,000 words. This can be a chapter, the opening words, any section you want, ideas and outlines, blurbs or marketing materials, query letters, or anything else that pertains to your current writing project. In this PDF, you must include the following: 2. Submit the PDF to writertherapyskool@gmail.com and it will be added to the queue as long as you include those three points above. 3. Once your piece is added to the Exposure Therapy classroom, fellow members will be able to read/download your PDF and go through each course page to comment on each point that you requested. 4. This is a work-in-progress. If a better system reveals itself, or if you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out. 5. You can submit multiple times, however, depending on the queue, I cannot promise it'll be featured as quickly.
