Clarifies Genre and Query Strategy

Cecelia gave me very helpful comments. She was very encouraging, but pointed out exactly what I had to do to make the story more compelling, and how to tweak my inquiry as well. She was also helpful in helping me understand my genre.

Refines Queries with Targeted Advice

Saba was prepared, friendly, and very helpful. She zeroed in on some areas to trim in my query, and told me what is working. She also answered some questions I had about the publishing industry and genre terms. I’d highly recommend her for advice on your query or publishing in general.

Exceeds Expectations with Generous Feedback

Just a quick note to say that Rene far exceeded my expectations both in terms of her feedback and the generosity of her time. She went well beyond my hopes for the kind of actionable intelligence I was looking for, and I couldn’t be happier.

Motivates with Clear, Constructive Feedback

Ms. McDonald’s constructive feedback inspired and motivated me. Her responses cut a clearer picture leading to a smoother path of transition for the first ten pages of my manuscript. Ms. McDonald’s evaluation filled in the gaps of my writing, and I feel more confident querying agents thanks to her enlightening comments. I wish she could read my edits based on her input! If you are considering booking an appointment, I suggest you stop contemplating and schedule! The time and money was well worth the outcome.

Suggests Stronger Storytelling Techniques

My 10-minutes with an expert consult with Saba was fantastic. She told me what worked in the introductory page of my memoir and suggested ways to deepen my storytelling. She referred me to the introductory pages of 3 memoirs and explained what to notice about each, commenting on ways I could use similar approaches. It was wonderful to have such substantive guidance and tips on my agent search too. I highly recommend a consult with Saba.

Pinpoints Key Query Weaknesses

Amy was kind, friendly, and enthusiastic. The thing that was most helpful was that she zeroed right in on the aspect of my query that had been bothering me (but I had been hoping no one else would notice!) and offered concrete suggestions for improvement.

Challenges Writers to Level Up

CeCe is emerging as a rock star agent. She was gracious and her feedback was insightful. She gave me something specific to ponder as I work to level up my craft and do another revision before heading back into the query trenches. Exactly what I needed. Recommend her highly!

Delivers Actionable Query Improvements

Samantha was really awesome. She had great ideas for how I could improve my query and I found her extremely easy to talk to. She was concise and specific in her feedback, and I walked out of our meeting feeling like I knew exactly what I needed to do next. She was also great enough to answer a few questions for me about the querying and submission process.
