I recently had an informative and very satisfying ten-minute live consultation with Agent Hannah Strouth. Hannah provided enthusiastic and positive feedback about my overall query letter, pointing out sentences and sections that worked well and why they worked well. She said she loved how I presented my comps, but noted that they both must be fiction. She offered constructive ideas of where to add more to my plot details, and where to take away from my themes. She liked my bio and shared what it revealed about me and my writing. She told me she could tell I’m an excellent writer–a compliment that goes a long way when you’re in the trenches as a debut novelist. She allowed a couple minutes at the end for me to ask questions, either directly about my query, or in general about my novel. Afterward I felt elated that I was on my way to a strong querying process, thanks to Hannah! I would highly recommend this lovely lady for a consultation.

Emmy gave terrific advice on both my query and my opening pages. They really helped me understand how to fit what I’m working on into the publishing world. I walked away excited to revise and knowing that the book would be better. If you have a chance to consult with Emmy, do it!

Hi, Jessica and Julie.
This was my second consultation with Anne, and all the reasons I wanted to meet her again after the first meeting were only magnified the second time. Anne is an absolutely brilliant editor. I’d sent her several flash pieces in one document, and I told her that because I was doing that–rather than sending one longer piece–I didn’t expect an in-depth review of each. But that’s just what I got. (I had suggested she choose a couple of the strongest and discuss those.) And on top of her individual reviews, she gave me great insights into what she saw, in general, when reading the group. I gotta say: I just love this woman. She is so wise and so generous. Each consultation was a gift, and I will be back for more.
Thanks so much!

I just finished my 10min consult with Jessica as part of my gold membership and it was amazing! She was able to help me get through a plot issue that I had been struggling with and even gave me some new inspiration. I canít wait to put all the pieces together and share this story.
