Unrushed and Insightful
It’s incredible how much Em was able to help in 10 minutes! Not only did she give me great general advice as it pertains to query letters’ structure and contents, but she also pointed out specific areas of mine that could be improved and tweaked. She was so informative that she actually covered most of the questions I’d written out in advance to ask, so we had time for me to try and come up with new questions on the fly. I can’t recommend her highly enough to go over your query letter and give insight as to what is or isn’t working as well as how to make it stronger.

Warm and Encouraging Suggestions
Melissa was kind, outgoing, and fun to work with. We discussed the concept and comps, and she gave me feedback on how to improve one paragraph on my first page. I wish we had more than ten minutes; I would definitely enjoy working with her again.

Game-Changing Query Advice
Katharine was unbelievably generous with her time and advice, both on Zoom and via email after her query critique. Her advice was really groundbreaking for me because what I thought was understandable was not to her. She (very patiently and kindly) explained that agents read fast and need simple, chronological accounts. She identified the backbone of my story and got me thinking of how readers will approach my title. She is a gift.

Right to the Point Feedback
I submitted a small writing sample prior to my meeting with Hannah. I was a bit anxious as I knew we only had a short time, but she got right down to business. She was extremely helpful with her feedback as well as her insights on new author websites, social media and query letters. I truly appreciated everything she had to say and felt I really benefitted from our time together.
