Can you promote in r/writingcritiques?
Short and sweet writing critiques.
The short answer
Participate as a community member first (post work, give critiques), avoid overt pitches, and keep any mention of a product/company minimal and clearly relevant.
What works here
- post your own writing for critique (≤1000 words or excerpt)
- link to a longer original when submitting an excerpt
- critique other users' work
What gets posts removed
- overt solicitation, sales pitches, or recruiting customers in replies
- posting promotional content unrelated to a critique
- dropping links or marketing messages unless clearly relevant and minimal
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on Redditpost-your-own-writing
Rule 1 requires submissions to be something the poster wrote for critique, implying the community expects peer writing critique rather than commercial posts.
length-and-linking
Rule 2 allows excerpts ≤1000 words and permits linking to a longer original, meaning links are tolerated only in that context.
community-focus
Rules and sidebar emphasize critiquing and reciprocity (critique others while you wait), showing the group is centered on peer feedback rather than vendor activity.
no-promotion-mention
No explicit rules about self-promotion, advertising, or vendor participation are present, so policy on those is unclear.
