 When a placeholder PR is created, make sure the PR has been opened using a `draft:true` parameter in its metadata. Feature blogs should not be merged **until after the release date and the comms team has assigned a publication date**.
 
+Once the placeholder PRs are open, **assign a writing buddy to each PR**. Select the writing buddy from the KEP authors of the other open placeholder PRs and pair them up. The writing buddy will act as a peer reviewer and provide support for the main author of the feature blog.
+For more information about the writing buddy assignment process and their role, please refer to [this documentation page](https://kubernetes.io/docs/contribute/blog/writing-buddy/).
+Example messaging can be found [here](/release-team/role-handbooks/communications/templates/writing-buddy-assignment.md).

 #### Creating a blog publication schedule
 
 **The Comms team establishes the feature blog publication schedule.** Other members of the release team or blog reviewers may contribute ideas and feedback on the schedule, but ultimately the schedule is determined by the Comms team.
