Erica went through my query paragraph by paragraph and gave me precise, actionable feedback. She spotted immediately that framing the book as ‘first in a planned series’ was weakening my submission, and advised repositioning it as a stand-alone with series potential. She also pushed me to make the protagonist’s personal stakes clearer. It was the kind of specific, craft-focused guidance that’s hard to find elsewhere. Professional, warm, and genuinely useful for a debut author navigating the query trenches.

Caitlin was straight to the point while being professional and insightful! Her critiques were specific enough that after applying them to my query letter and first chapter, there is clear improvement in clarity and flow.

Carina Licon’s feedback and edits are of the highest quality. Very helpful, thorough, and insightful. I will definitely send more of my stories to Carina in the future. Thank you so much to Carina and Manuscript Academy.
