Feedback And Reviews
Savannah was pleasant and professional. She gave me insight into a structural problem that I very much appreciate. It jumpstarted my creativity and got my story ìunstuckî. Thank you!

II had my fourth query critique, each with fantastic, helpful suggestions and hints. My fourth and final one with CeCe put it over the top! I came away with a new comp and a hook that was missing in which I explain the MC’s main dilemma when he faces a choice.
I dare an agent not to request my manuscript with this query!
Thanks as always,
Brian

Alyssa was enthusiastic and helpful. She gave great feedback on my first ten pages and also provided general publishing/querying advice. I had a wonderful time talking with her!
I had a great meeting with Renee on Sunday. Thank you! I began revising immediately after meeting with her. I feel like I was spinning a bit on where and what I needed to revise, and I feel much more focused now and am enjoying the revision process again.

Lovely, professional, knowledgeable, encouraging
I’ve been wanting to do an agent one-on-one for quite some time now, and I finally committed. It was so much more than I’d ever hoped for! The 15 minutes flew by, but in that time, Fiona Kenshole gave me some amazing feedback on my first two chapters, things I never even thought of. I’m energized to put her suggestions in motion, see how it flows, and then I’ll be ready to start querying!

This is the third time I’ve booked a 10 page, 15 minute consultation with John Cusick. He’s not only extremely personable and professional, but he always seems genuinely invested in me and my novel manuscripts. He provides detailed and constructive feedback that has been detrimental in improving my work. I won’t hesitate to use him for any future projects, and I’m certain his insightful advice has shaped my stories for the better and given me a much better chance at securing an agent. I’m extremely grateful!

My query letter review with Alyssa Jennette was fantatastic. She was laid back and kind and helpful. She listened to my questions and gave thoughtful, honest answers. It was one of those meetings that proves how much you can accomplish in ten minutes with the right person in the room.

Katie gave me direct and concrete feedback that, at first, I didn’t want to hear. But as I thought about it, and imagined how I could revise my opening scenes based on her feedback, I realized it was transformative. Now, although it means I have to re-write my opening again, I am confident this time it will be so much better. And the entire story will be as well.

Chelsey was amazing! Her feedback was insightful, precise, and energizing. I’m so excited to implement her suggestions into my query and manuscript! Thank you!

Stephanie was lovely! Her feedback was efficient, constructive, and professional. I really appreciated how she addressed larger themes (voice) while also digging in at the line-level to really improve my first 250 words. I absolutely recommend her consultations. She was a dream to work with!

Erica was great. She was easy to talk to, specific in her comments, and gave helpful tips and suggestions.
