Alyssa was fantastic! It was clear she had read through my manuscript carefully and thoughtfully. Her insights pinpointed several of the problem spots I have been wrestling with and then we were able to brainstorm through some possible options for revising. I left feeling like I had the direction I needed to keep moving forward on this project.

Gave me lots to think about!

Ms. Brooks came prepared, with a range of ideas that I hadn’t even thought about. She gave input on asides and backstory in my first 10 pages, she gave me permission to be more direct. It was worth my time. She gave me lots to think about.

Katharine was incredible! I learned so much from our brief meeting. She gave me tremendous advice, not only about my writing, but about the manuscript I am currently working on. She is the best! Thank you.

I thought the consultation was extremely helpful in how I need to rewrite my query letter. Alyssa also went over some things to help me elevate my first page. Like the type of language I need to use to push it into the realm of Adult diction, instead of the in-between YA and Adult that I have right now. I believe that I’ve benefitted from the whole experience. Would recommend it to anyone that can afford it.

This was fantastic. I highly recommend signing up for one of these meetings. Amy was professional, encouraging, and her advice was spot-on.

Jennifer really packed a lot into our 10-minutes together. There was time for my questions and a thorough review of both my query and first page. All of it was very helpful for deciding my next steps both in revising and in querying. Plus, Jennifer was incredibly personable!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for the query and ten-pages review with Renee Fountain, Gondolpho, Helin & Fountain. Renee addressed several questions before I asked them. Along with positive feedback, she pointed out ways to polish my work that will affect the entire manuscript. These are concrete issues I can address and proceed to my next round of queries with a better product and more confidence.
