Kaitlyn Sanchez, Agent at Bradford Literary

Kaitlyn was so kind and helpful during our session! I got a lot of great tips and a list of suggestions of writers whose books are similar to mine. I will definitely be checking those out! She also encouraged me to not feel I have to follow any picture book formula if I don’t want to and told me her opinion on the manuscript layout. Kaitlyn is such a great resource! I will probably be talking with her again in the future.

Blows Away Writers with Feedback

Kaitlyn far exceeded my expectations for what I would get out of our meeting. I booked a 15-minute consult, and I think we ended up talking for 30 minutes. She gave me high-level feedback as well as detailed line edits and comments. What impressed me was that she shared her screen and we went through every line by line comment, discussed some ideas for clarifying that part of the story, and she took notes in the margins as we discussed these ideas in real time! She even emailed me the file with her edits during our meeting. I was blown away by her care, attention, and transparency and learned so much. I highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone who wants detailed notes on their work and a sharp editorial eye.

My consultation with Kaitlyn was wonderful! She gave me great line-by-line suggestions to improve my query letter and answered all my random questions. Our conversation was so helpful and left me feeling very encouraged and inspired.

Talking with Kaitlyn Sanchez was so delightful I forget that the next day, I would have to drop being a summer writer and go back to being a high school English teacher. Kaitlyn was charming, warm, and encouraging. She had wonderful suggestions that helped me make my query stronger. Even though she doesn’t represent my genre, I wanted to hear her thoughts–because she is such a strong advocate of LGBTQ+ literature.

I remain grateful to The Manuscript Academy for offering this service and for the busy professionals who make themselves available to share their expertise!
