Generous, Analytical, Sharp-minded, Kind

Jonathan Baker is the person to meet with if you are serious about your work but find yourself stuck when it comes to your writing career. Baker is generous but analytical, sharp-minded but kind. Before I sat down with him, my work was languishing in the doldrums. I didn’t fully understand the publishing industry—or my place in it. Now, with Baker’s help, I’ve crafted a clear and exciting path going forward. Give yourself a birthday present (I did) and arrange

A Timely Boost for My Query Journey

I was really encouraged by my session with Dani. I had been feeling discouraged about the querying process, and she took time to explain more about how publishing works while reassuring me about my chances of finding the right agent. She reviewed my query thoughtfully, highlighting what was working well and offering specific, actionable suggestions for improvement. I left the session feeling more confident, encouraged, and motivated to keep querying and not give up. Thank you, Dani!

Time well spent on the road to sub!

Erica was great! She gave me constructive feedback in a kind, helpful way. Thanks to her sharp insights, I was able to figure out exactly what wasn’t working with my query and fix it. She also asked for my questions ahead of time to make the best use of the crazy short session. Time and money well spent as I’m getting ready to sub!!

Amazing Critique

Danielle shared targeted, thoughtful feedback on the first fifty pages of my middle grade speculative manuscript. Her critique helped maintain my confidence that my manuscript is on the right track and allowed me to launch into a new draft with many areas for improvements. Danielle was honest, but extremely positive, pointing out what was working and ways to fix what wasn’t. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with Danielle.
