How do you get feedback on your writing?

I recently started doing a lot of writing for a number of websites.

And similar to building products, getting feedback on one's writing is important. I have asked my girlfriend and close friends to give feedback on my writing before.

But even at ~3 articles a week, this becomes a bit too much to ask for. I don't feel comfortable continuing to ask my friends, especially as an ongoing favor.

How do other content creators approach this?

    We've been trying to build a community to help with this in our Content Support here on Indie Hackers - would love to have more people join up.

      Could try a "Roast my content and I'll roast yours" trade. Seems to be popular for landing pages.

    As you noted asking for feedback adds overhead to publishing blog posts. So, for grammar and style, I use ProWritingAid.

    I haven't used it yet myself, but I've heard that the Hemingway app is a good resource for helping you improve your writing.

    Personally, I ask family, friends, and sometimes subscribers of my newsletter for feedback on ~1 article/month. It would be too much to ask for each one, so I pick and choose my spots.

    I use Quillbot for some rephrasing suggestions and find it really useful.
