Why RCP Exists
Reaching Out Is Scary
It can be daunting to share your work with others.
Friends And Family?
May feel too close. Asking may be embarassing, or you may feel they're biased.
Social Media?
May be unproductive. Toxic discourse often prevails, and you may feel wary of people's intent.
No One?
Finding personal connections can be difficult in the digital age. Loneliness and hyper-individualism prevail.
For Users With Intent
RCP users want reciprocal help with all our creative journeys.
They seek personal connection in a landscape scarce of it.
How RCP Works

Your work gets seen for feedback while users reduce unproductive feedback.

4. Share Your Work
Submit the writing you want feedback on - we're here to help.
5. Meet Your Group
Connect with your group members through 1-to-1 digital letters.
6. Give a Note to Each Member
Everyone gives one specific improvement note to each group member's work.
7. Rank and Reflect
Each writer ranks which note they think is most and least important for each piece.
8. Review and Repeat
View all your receieved feedback and utilize insights to make changes. Rinse and repeat.
