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.

Despite my asking for a “harsh” critique, Hannah was kind as well as helpful. She gave me positive feedback and pointed out specifically how I could “increase the stakes” for my protagonist in my query. She answered all my questions with patience and insider insights.

Katie was great. She answered all my questions about the industry and agents’ expectations. She also gave me some fresh ideas for my blurb. I have implemented all her suggestions and am in the process of querying agents. I have more hope than ever that I will find someone to help me break into traditional publishing!
