I’ll admit, my heart ramped up in the few minutes before my meeting with Lane. I mean, c’mon, meeting with a pro who’s going to tell you if the intent of your hard work, uh, works or not? It’s a special sort of apprehension.
Lane helped ratchet down the angst pretty quickly. He was clearly comfortable in his role and the ease was infectious. Well, maybe a different adjective would be better during Covid era.
Transmittable?
Communicable?
Drat.
…he made me feel welcome in his world, how’s that?
Lane was hospitable during the critique process. He was clear about his thoughts, praised what worked, pointed towards the mistakes I’d made that undercut my goals, and just generally made me feel good about using this service. It felt worthwhile enough that I’ve recommended to all the people in my Creative Writing Masters degree program.
Would I use it again? Well, quality industry feedback with fairly quick turnaround time? Yep. I’d give it another go.
