Lyle McKeany (ID: 0000001960781bb7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/25/2023 I've been part of the Foster community for years now. The dedication they have to building this extension into a full-fledged, seamless editing experience for online writers has been incredible to watch. It's like a magical tool for connecting real-life actual humans—those who want to tell their stories and those who want to help them tell those stories more effectively.

Drew Keever (ID: 0000002cb2d0d555) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/23/2022 used Foster for a few months & really enjoyed it. Definitely improved my writing! reasonable price, if you consistently write 500+ words per month. a team of editors will join your google doc and help you with whatever you're writing.

John Gannon (ID: 00000005cb0fd382) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/06/2022 Great product and lets you get extremely quick, relevant feedback on your writing. Highly recommend.

Theresa Sam Houghton (ID: 0000009a13d54ba6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/20/2022 Foster has been my go-to for writing help for the past couple of years, and the extension makes it incredibly easy to send your writing to the talented collective of writers and editors for feedback. It's quick and intuitive--no need to leave your writing workflow. The feedback is valuable and has helped me grow as a writer and editor. Foster's Collective is full of thoughtful, creative people who give more than just line edits; they provide insights that help you look at a piece objectively through the eyes of your readers, clarify what doesn't make sense and tighten up the wording. I feel more confident as a writer with Foster's support!
