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.

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.

Samantha was a real pro. She took it in stride that I had to do the Zoom session from the airport, due to a last minute family issue. Her feedback on my query was extremely worthwhile. Talking with her led me to come up with a central insight into the best way to present my manuscript.

After my ten-minute meeting with Emmy Nordstrom Higdon, I was looking over my notes and was reminded of a scene from Carl Sagan’s CONTACT, where the protagonist’s journey to another star system is compressed into just a few Earth seconds. The space-time-gravity relativity thing was clearly at play in our meeting, because in a relative blink, Emmy deftly packed concrete suggestions that have already made my query stronger and, with some kind of Einsteinian magic, they offered really terrific insights about how to approach agents with a novel that’s a bit of a genre hybrid.
Not only was Emmy informative and helpful, they also doled out heaps of kind encouragement. I couldn’t recommend them more enthusiastically.

I’ve had several log line consultations with different folks – all beneficial – but the most helpful has been Marilyn. She gets to the point with a positive exchange of ideas. Her ideas needed to marinate overnight but the next day I honed in on my log line/theme. Thank you, Marilyn!

Bibi was awesome! She gave me constructive criticism about my first paragraph being ìtoo writerly,î and I agree with her assessment. She was also encouraging, and I appreciate that kindness.

Fiona’s kindness, candor and heartfelt input was not only helpful in the practical sense of the actual application to my story, but more importantly, her genuine enthusiasm for this work makes everyone who speaks to her feel like they are her best friend. This creates an immensely supportive environment rather than a critical one. She is relaxed and personable but also immensely knowledgeable in this field, so each suggestion is well thought out, heartfelt and right on the money. I would pay for this again when it is offered.

Blair gave me a fresh perspective on my writing which has motivated me! I left our session together looking forward to editing my work and writing more! Put simply, I felt encouraged by her specific critique. So often feedback can feel critical and demotivating, but with Blair, I got valuable comments that energized me. Thank you!
