More Than Encouragement
I came into my meeting with Erica Bauman expecting to hear that my concept wasn’t marketable. Instead, she told me she believed in the concept and offered thoughtful, practical suggestions for strengthening my opening and making my protagonist come alive immediately. Erica was kind, professional, and generous with her insights. I left the session encouraged and with a clear direction for revision.

So helpful!
Caitlin was wonderfully thorough, answered all my questions, and provided incredibly helpful insight and suggestions! Highly recommend! I feel so much more confident going into the querying process now because of my experience with Caitlin!

The Doctor Is In!
My 15 minutes were really worthwhile. I had worked on my manuscript extensively but knew it wasn’t quite right. Kaitlyn very succinctly explained what the problem was, offered a couple of solutions, and listed some comp titles I could read for inspiration. So now I know what I’m going to do next. I’d actually workshopped this manuscript before and am impressed that no one else identified the problem that Kaitlyn did. Definitely worth my time and money!

Lively insight!
In just 10-min. consultation, Hannah answered my questions, gave me some ideas, validated my “you’re so close!” sense of where I am in the query process–and on top of all that, we shared some good laughs. 🙂 I appreciated talking to a former acquisitions editor for that perspective.

Great!
My time with Jonathan was incredible. The insights and advice he provided were not only immensely helpful in relation to the novel in question, but also to my entire journey as a writer. I look forward to scheduling future sessions with him.

Armed and Loaded
Caitlin came armed with insightful suggestions in both query and opening pages. Her criticism was loaded with encouragement and guidance on publishing peculiarities like market trends you can’t and should not try to anticipate. A great blend of expertise and empathy with a welcome undertone of appreciation for my work. I recommend her for any writer snagged in the query trenches and unsure how to move forward.

Above and Beyond
Renee’s responses are mini-master classes in writing. She’s thoughtful and insightful and no nonsense. She’s cool. In a 5 star review, I’d give her a 6!

Always great feedback
I have had several consultations with Alyssa. Her feedback guides me to cut out things I don’t need, and where to focus a little more. Her industry knowledge for comps and where my manuscript will fit is so helpful.
