Sometimes I need more than notes specific to the words I’ve put on paper/monitor. I need an industry insider with true interest and expertise in my genre to discuss the current marketability of my project and options for making my story more marketable in the current landscape – even if that means adjustments to better fit a different genre. With a friendly, supportive attitude, Kaitlyn did just that and didn’t hold back the truth I needed. Of course she gave great notes for my manuscript as well, but provided the real discussion I needed.

You know that nagging feeling after your manuscript is finished? You have revised your manuscript, but still, there is something wrong. You have worked on it for so long, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. Maybe your critique buddies don’t see it either. They, too, have seen your manuscript too many times. That’s the situation I was in. So when the opportunity to sign up for a critique came up on The Manuscript Academy, I took it.
I am so pleased I chose Molly Cusick.
Like a detective, she found the holes in my manuscript. She noted my blind spots, inconsistencies, and gaps in my interior voice. Her observations, comments, and suggestions were spot on. My reaction was “that’s it” and, embarrassingly, “how come I didn’t see that.”
Thank you, Molly!
