Claire was an absolute doll! She was so friendly and gave meaningful and thoughtful feedback on my query page. I felt seen and heard. If you want someone who really listens and understands what you are trying to convey in your query but help streamlining it, she is perfect!

The consultation with Savannah went well. She shared her feedback on my query letter and pages. Savannah also talked with me about the industry and her thoughts on my work in the marketplace.

Eric was wonderful! Even though it was a live consultation, he was thoughtful enough to send a few written comments ahead of time to provide context for the conversation so we could hit the ground running. And he was so friendly and insightful during the conversation – it was a fantastic experience all around! Highly recommend 🙂

Kayla was incredible. She started off by asking what my goals were for the session, tailoring the experience based on what I wanted to achieve. My primary goal was to determine if my writing sample lined up with the expectations created by my query. She explained how the description of my character in the query prepared the reader for the sample. She did this by pointing out specific sentences in the query and sample. Her analysis was spot on. And she was just a cool person who, by the end of the 15 minutes, made me feel excited to get back to querying because of her enthusiasm and care. She also eased some anxiety about timelines: 6 weeks into querying is still in the “infant stages.” This was a helpful orientation of how time moves in this process. I would highly recommend Kayla.

Anjanette’s input was very useful. She had specific suggestions that made the pages better and we talked about the Sci Fi genre in general to help me know how to address specific topics within the novel. I will be happy to consult with her again.

Linda gave me so much insight in such a short amount of time! The ability to see your story from an agent’s eyes tells you so much about what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus your energy. Before chatting with Linda, I was trying to read into form rejections and make wild guesses about why my query wasn’t landing. Even with an awesome critique group and editor, I never could have known about the specific sensitivities within the publishing industry Linda helped me see. She gave me ideas for tweaking the query and manuscript in a kind, thoughtful way. Thanks Linda!

Despite the brevity, Bibi was unhurried and attentive, offering concrete feedback, noting both positive aspects and where I could strengthen my query. I enjoyed our time together and found it valuable.

Linda gave me actionable advice on the first ten pages of my manuscript. She was very encouraging and clearly invested time into our meeting prior to the consult. My recommendation to anyone in the query trenches is to consult Linda. You wonít regret it!

Eric was so helpful and professional. He helped me identify and address my issue right away and saved time to answer my million questions. Heís supportive and thoughtful in how he coaches. While it sucks to realize what youíve written just does not work, discovering so and developing an alternative approach with someone whoís eager to coach and listen to new ideas makes it so much better. Very grateful!
