Hello! Thank you for the tag and for future reference, you may want to contact everyone beforehand because some may not want their tips and tricks included.
Here’s what I’ve found after reading it over:

  • Even though this may be very helpful, it’s a bit long. Many don’t have attention spans that will last throughout every single question. If you stick to the bare minimum, people are more likely to answer the questions. Like an episode, if it’s 20 minutes long, someone wouldn’t really want to read through the whole thing.

  • They are a bunch of grammatical errors, especially regarding commas and run-on sentences.

  • There are a lot of questions that are either the same thing with different wording, unnecessary, or… I’m not sure how to word this, so I’m going to show you:
    Does my story sound good to others?
    Stories aren’t written for others. Authors, especially new ones, aren’t writing this story for reads, they’re writing it for themselves. So it’s more of an internally looking kind of question, not whether or not everyone else would be interested.

  • This is something that worries me a bit:

I didn’t read through the entire document yet, but if you’re giving authors advice on other cultures, it’s best to stay away from cultures that you have little knowledge of (Google does not count, they generally use generalized information instead of individuals who will have first-hand knowledge of it).

Other than that, it’s pretty good! If you want (you don’t have to), you can add this link:
https://classroom.google.com/c/Mjk1NTQxMDExNDg5?cjc=42en7b5
Which is a link to the classroom I run with @Qettix and @Nazee_writes where we post coding and planning guides, tutorials, documents, etc. Of course, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to.

Reading through the document, I’m not seeing any information about different cultures… Anyways, even though you may be well-informed about it, or may even be a part of that culture, doesn’t mean one has experience in all sides of it.
