Just received feedback from a different competition I entered. It was the same piece as I entered here, and was also waitlisted for Harper Collins Author Academy last month. I was absolutely disgusted by the completed disinterest shown by the reader/s and there was no attempt at finding positives in the extract. I don't usually grumble about stuff, but really the feedback was practically an insult. Compared to Issy's feedback, it was chalk and cheese! Anyone else had this from other competitions? It was a national one, so no excuse.
