My meeting with Fiona was very helpful. She nailed exactly what was missing from my first pages and query letter and articulated it in a way that sparked ideas and a course of action. I can see how I can integrate her advice as it was quite specific about what aspects of my first pages and query to put more, or less, emphasis on. I was very happy with the consultation and highly recommend Fiona.

I signed up for this consult knowing my query letter wasn’t delivering the punch I wanted. In the fifteen minutes we had together Jenissa broke it down for me pinpointing my weaknesses but also showing me how to fix them – while being friendly and encouraging the entire time. Definitely a great experience.

Ms. Strouth was absolutely incredible. Not only vastly knowledgeable about the industry, but also supportive in such a way that her critiques are still presented in a positive light and do not discourage at all. I cannot recommend her enough, she is absolutely brilliant.

Fiona gave me really great insights into a children’s picture book I was stuck with. Her recommendations helped take the story to the next level. In fact, she helped me find those places where I could elevate it in a way even other reviewers hadn’t seen, and I’m really loving the result!

I found my consultation with Stacy to be extremely helpful. She asked insightful questions about my story to help clarify a confusing paragraph of my query, and I think my letter is a lot better because of it. She was kind, genuinely seemed interested in my manuscript, and made sure to answer all my questions. I highly recommend meeting with Stacey!

Thank you so much for the opportunity for feedback! This was another useful and productive session. Stephanie Stein gave me concrete, actionable feedback to implement in both my pages and query in an organized fashion. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to speak with her and my previous critique with Blair Thornburgh. Blair’s concise suggestions and Stephanie’s market knowledge and useful notes for my pages and query will help me improve my query package. Thank you for the opportunity to improve my writing with experiences with such seasoned professionals.

It was invigorating and motivating to meet with Katie Greenstreet to review my query letter. She was able to give me very specific feedback to strengthen my query letter including an ideas for a better comp and what info to add to the letter for clarity. She also was able to share her thoughts on some specific things that agents are looking for or not looking for in my genre (thriller) which was helpful as I make final decision on the structure of my manuscript. I’m so glad I met with her!
