Monica was a pleasure to speak to and she gave me such great, concise feedback. She has a great eye and was able to support me with what I needed. I appreciated her industry insights as well!

Natalie Edwards’ consultation was nothing short of phenomenal. She gave specific, productive feedback on every bit from query letter to my pages, answered questions with specific ideas, and listened to what I had to say with ready willingness to give me other options from an original suggestion she may have had. She checked to see if I was ready to move on before she did so, and the overall consultation was far more interactive than I could have hoped for. I will say that I asked for a “10” on the scale of “Kind to Brutal” and she was nothing short of gentle, patient, and kind throughout although every word was constructive. If you are lucky enough to get an appointment with her, book her sooner rather than later.

My consultation with Natalie was exceptionally helpful. She brought me up to speed on the current conventions around query writing, beyond what I found in my own research, and suggested a brilliant edit to my first few pages. Her feedback was direct yet kind and, more importantly, it was completely in line with the spirit of my book.

Natalie asked questions that my query provoked, plot or character directions she wanted to know more about, which in turn gave me tidbits of interest I could insert to make it better. When you have a complicated book, knowing what specifics resonate with people helps limit what is helpful, and what isn’t. Our meeting was short, but helpful.

Nour provided 15 minutes of pure gold. I was thoroughly impressed by the insights she gleaned from my query and first ten pages and by the astute and specific comments she made to me. She knows the market well, and my proposal is better because of her. Thank you, Nour!

Absolutely amazing! Nour is the third paid mentoring agent I’ve worked with, and her feedback was the most enlightening and noteworthy compared to the others. She provided me with valuable insight into how an agent or publisher might perceive my query and sample pages, offering specific guidance on how to improve them. I definitely recommend her.

Nour was exceptionally kind and bright. Her feedbacks on my query were so specific and valuable, with great example. The first 10 page, she explained exactly what she meant if she wanted something to improve, and why. I feel that I gained so much in such a short time. But more so, her generosity in trying to give me as much as she can as if she deeply cared. There was not enough time for me to thank her personally, so I hope she gets to read this. Thank you Nour. You are as your name says; Light.
