She was brilliant – lovely – she had so much knowledge and she tried to give me as much as time allowed. I feel really good about my query now.

Blair was well-prepared for our meeting and offered great feedback and advice. She was very optimistic about the potential for my work and I’ve started incorporating her notes already.
Thanks so much!

Blair gave me a fresh perspective on my writing which has motivated me! I left our session together looking forward to editing my work and writing more! Put simply, I felt encouraged by her specific critique. So often feedback can feel critical and demotivating, but with Blair, I got valuable comments that energized me. Thank you!
