Feedback And Reviews
Eric was super friendly and made sure I could ask as many questions as possible. He gave me notes on my query beforehand so we could optimize our time, and we ended up just chatting about books and movies for a little while. Wonderful experience.
Katie gave me great insight. My novel has complex elements with a witty edge, so she helped me see how simplifying my query would peak agent interest. Her encouraging words were extremely helpful.
Cecelia was terrific – well-prepared and encouraging. She pointed out phrases and sentences she particularly liked as well as parts of the story that could be elevated by adding more emotion. This was just what I needed after querying for awhile without much feedback.
My consultation with Emmy Nordstrom Higdon was perfect. Emmy was a huge help in guiding my query material to a better place. They were very kind while providing honest, insightful critiques. I gained a great deal in a short period of time. What a great service for the writing community! Thank you.
Eric was great. He provided a ton of feedback and I think I’m ready to query this project!
My query consultation flew by, but Katie provided some solid feedback and suggestions for tightening my query to make it even stronger. She was both encouraging and knowledgeable, and I appreciated every one of my ten minutes with her.
Caitlin came to our meeting prepared and ready to help with thoughtful critiques and specific suggestions to improve my first page. She addressed balancing details, cutting extraneous information, voice, and elevating the language. It was a huge help! She packed a lot in to a 10-minute meeting, and even left time for me to ask questions. I highly recommend seeking Caitlin’s counsel! She has a great eye for narrative writing, with a kind and supportive approach.
I had an amazing time with Emmy! They were smart, knowledgeable, concise, and helpful. I really appreciated everything†they had to say about my query. I felt like they really pulled from the full breadth of their experience†to help me out. Excellent use of ten minutes. Highly recommend!
Chelsey provided me with a fantastic consult. I upgraded a 10 minute meeting for a 15 minute +10 pages and definitely got what I paid for. She was kind with her words and helpful with her advice and concerns, giving a well thought-out review of my submission. She also provided plenty of guidance and advice where I was lacking and was generous with praise over what I did well.
Kaitlyn was kind and helpful. She gave me great feedback on my first page that gave me an idea that will improve the delivery of a big portion of the story! She also helped with something else I was struggling with. I can’t believe how much I got out of a ten-minute call! It is definitely money well spent.

I thoroughly enjoyed my consult with Linda Camacho. Linda’s enthusiasm for tackling my query letter and her attention to detail made me feel validated as a writer. As an added bonus, she’s got a great personality! I highly recommend Linda for professional advice.
I thought the critique went just fine. Nothing earth shattering. Just fine.
