I had a 30/30 consultation with Katharine Sands last July that changed the way I looked at my manuscript. Iíd been struggling with it for some months, but after speaking with her, I was excited and inspired to rework the entire manuscript. Her insights had a profound impact, and I attribute her ìinterventionî with a completed manuscript of which Iím very proud.
Iíve just finished a 15-minute query and 10-page consultation with Katharine, and once again Iíve come away with a clear direction and a goal. Sheís generous with her time, and she puts the work in. You KNOW sheís carefully read your work. It doesnít matter your genre (mine is psychological suspense), Katharine has a unique ability to pinpoint the strengths and the weaknesses of your query and your pages. Youíll see things differently, have a better understanding of the process, and most importantly, have a way forward. As far as Iím concerned, that is priceless.

Emmy was fantastic! They were incredibly helpful in answering a maximum amount of questions with decisive thoroughness all while being mindful of our limited time together. My query was greatly improved thanks to their input and I would recommend them to anyone looking for suggestions, encouragement, and redirection in the query writing process. Thank you Emmy!

I would like to thank Jessica and Julie for everything that they are doing to help authors improve their craft. I had been stuck in the query trenches for a year and a half, and was completely lost on why I was getting rejected. Then I found the Manuscript Academy.
At first, I cried a little when I saw their prices. Then I decided to save up and book a consultation with Fiona Kenshole. And let me tell you this, the feedback that I got from a REAL Literary Agent truly opened my eyes to why I was getting rejected.
Sometimes, when you stare too long at your manuscript, you do not pick up on the flaws and areas that need improvement. This is where a fresh pair of eyes, especially those from a professional in the industry, can really come in handy.
I highly recommend you try it out. Think of it as an investment.

Fiona was great! She gave me some excellent suggestions for my query. She was complimentary about the story idea and suggested a slightly different tack for my summary. It was such an enjoyable yet productive ten minutes. I was sorry I didn’t have more time with Fiona!

I met Jessica Sinsheimer and the experience was definitely worth it! She took the time to run through all the problem areas of my query, was patient and spot on! This is the only service I know of out there that allows aspiring authors the opportunity to pick various pieces of their work to have analyzed by professionals in the industry in such a streamlined and effective manner. And as many times as needed until we get it right!
Jessica shared all of her notes and suggestions; problems I could not see, as I was just too close to my story to have an eye of an outsider reading my query letter. I am so appreciative of this invaluable opportunity to help get my work out to the world!

Zooomed an extremely productive and enjoyable fifteen minutes with Katie discussing my query letter and first ten pages. She was well prepared and told me not only how to rearrange and tighten up my letter but also some details to add in.
