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!

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!
