Since I decided in 2019 that I wanted to become a traditionally published fiction author, Caitlin McDonald has always been at the top of my WISHLIST of Agents that I want to partner with.
Caitlin’s and my 15 minute Query & 10 page story review was nothing short of Spectacular!!! Every single one of the the peer, client, and literary reviews about Caitlin McDonald are right on. Experience, Insight, Knowledge, and knowing what it takes to take yourself to the next level and beyond, as a writer is Caitlin’s wheelhouse.
Would I pay to have more 1:1’s with Caitlin? HELL YES I WOULD!!! Caitlin, your are a Literary Angel Agent… I would be honored to have you review my work.
J&J – well done with your networking, honest feedback, and membership perks! : )

Seeking an industry insider perspective from someone who cares deeply about you finding an agent? Choose Rebecca Raskin. Rebecca provided incredibly useful answers on genre/shelving, positioning and comps, query letter and manuscript. Specifically, she helped me realize that I’d made some rookie mistakes. First, my query letter didn’t have a strong enough hook and description like you would say to someone at a cocktail party. Second, it needed the full character plot and comps from debut authors in women’s fiction with a central romance theme. Third, my first 10 pages needed to ensure readers care about both my characters equally. Thanks to Rebecca’s actionable feedback, I was able to make material improvements in both my query letter and manuscript. Literally, her consultation took my publishing package from C to A. Highly recommend especially to debut authors who are new to traditional publishing.
