Personalized response in just one day.
Typishly is a positive and welcoming space for writers, where creativity is respected, cherished and nourished. We strive to inspire, even when responding to short stories and poetry not accepted for publication.
Typishly’s editor Jon has encouraged writers for years as a Creative Director. He replies to submissions in 24 hours with a friendly personalized note briefly pointing out phrases and ideas he likes, because it’s good to know someone has read and thought about your work. He does not provide negative feedback, constructive criticism or long detailed notes. Don’t expect advice on how to improve your writing. (For more, see our FAQs.)
