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!

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 wonÃt 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. HeÃs supportive and thoughtful in how he coaches. While it sucks to realize what youÃve written just does not work, discovering so and developing an alternative approach with someone whoÃs eager to coach and listen to new ideas makes it so much better. Very grateful!

Having my work critiqued by Fiona was one of the best decisions I’ve made as a writer. She is kind, generous, and knowledgeable. Even more valuable is her ability to give specific guidance based on your strengths as an individual. After my consultation with her my children’s book author/illustrator goals are clearer. I have a definite direction and know precisely what to do next in regards to my current project. Fiona’s insights and infectious enthusiasm are just what I needed. If you have an opportunity to speak with her about your project, don’t hesitate.

Fiona Kenshole is extremely hard to book, but there’s a very good reason for that! Her enthusiasm will make any bodies day bright, she knows exactly how to deliver a critique and what way to deliver it. She’ll tell you all the things you’re doing wrong, as well as all the things you’re doing right! She’ll take you through the steps of discovering your main plot, ask you vital questions, and you’ll walk away with a new understanding of what you need to do.

Erica was fantastic- really enjoyed working with her. Great critique and edits. Inevitably some of her suggestions were at odds with what I have heard from others, but I will try to incorporate everything.

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.
