How do you approach feedback? Approach both praise and constructive criticism with curiosity. Remember, no manuscript is perfect, and no advice is perfect; and no advice is perfect; it is all about how you question both and find a way to meld them together. Approach the feedback with the intent to understand it, not agree or disagree.
