Query Tune Up
Wow-a fabulous, informative, motivating session with Jessica for my Query letter. I learned “rules” (three character names) I would not have known without her expertise and we had such fruitful conversation to flesh out how to cultivate a quirky, fun-filled, voice to reflect the voice in my Rom-Com. I can’t wait to receive her notes and have already begun rewriting my query. Thank you so much!

Constructive Concrete Notes
Fifteen minutes goes so fast, but Nadia had notes ready, and we dove right in. She shared notes, asked questions, and listened. I listened too as she shared constructive concrete thoughts. It was an incredibly helpful session that gave me a lot of food for thought. I’ve been mulling over what she shared and am anxious to get back to work! Incredibly helpful and uplifting.

Invaluable expertise
As an unagented writer, I am so grateful for the opportunity to have access to the expertise of an industry professional. I have sought Fiona Kenshole’s guidance on a number of occasions, and she has never failed to disappoint. Fiona is kind, encouraging, and supportive. After meeting with Fiona, I always feel as though my compass is recalibrated, and I am able to move forward with a clear direction in mind.

15 Minutes Well Spent
This 15 minute meeting was packed with everything that I needed, and left me with actionable advice and a renewed confidence that I am on the right track with my book. Imposter syndrome is real, and getting some encouragement about what I was doing right helped me feel like I can keep pushing forward and that writing this book is not a complete waste of my time. Erica was kind, detailed, honest, and well prepared for the meeting. I could not ask for more, and as my title says, this was 15 minutes well spent.

Very helpful, very professional
A 15-minute meeting with Caitlin McDonald was amazing and incredibly helpful. She came fully prepared and jumped right into the feedback without wasting a second. She went through my manuscript paragraph by paragraph, offering specific, actionable advice. Her critique was constructive, professional, and straight to the point—exactly what I needed. She didn’t just tell me what wasn’t working—she explained why and pointed me toward solutions. That level of care in such a short time is rare, and I truly appreciated it.
I also appreciated the professionalism: the meeting link was emailed 10 minutes prior, giving me fair warning to prepare. Small details like that make a big difference.
Thank you, Caitlin, for your time and expertise. I left the meeting feeling hopeful and equipped with concrete steps to improve my manuscript. I highly recommend Caitlin for any writer looking for honest, actionable feedback.

Maximum density advice
I received an hour’s worth of clarity in just ten minutes. She took a complex, multispecialty book concept and immediately pointed out where my platform needed work and gave me a clear plan. Honest, actionable steps that completely changed how I’m preparing to approach agents. If you want a sharp, real-world perspective on your project, her advice is top-notch.

Expert and Generous!
Ivan is an absolute pleasure to work with! I only had a 10-minute appointment with him, yet even in that brief time, his expertise in storytelling, querying, and understanding of current market interests was abundantly clear. He gave me several thoughtful suggestions that meaningfully strengthened my approach and strategy. Ivan is insightful, generous, and genuinely invested in helping writers succeed.

A fantastic consultation
This was one of the most useful writing consultations that I’ve ever had. Anne Elliot gave me great feedback, and I’m confident that her feedback and suggestions will strengthen my short story. The submission strategy she laid out was tailored to my piece and took so much of the guesswork out of the process for me. I left session feeling energized and supported, genuinely more confident about my next steps.

Exactly What My Novel Needed
My 15-minute consultation with Katharine Sands was invaluable. In just a quarter of an hour, she identified several ways to strengthen both my query letter and the first ten pages of my novel. Her suggestions—including sharpening my protagonist’s introduction, crafting a stronger opening paragraph, and updating my comp titles—were insightful and immediately useful. I left the conversation energized, encouraged, and with a clear roadmap for revision.

Great feedback and advice for an IP pitch
I met Ivan yesterday, and it was a very positive, inspiring and useful experience – Ivan gave me lots of practical advice and great feedback, and also sent me a list of agents he thinks are perfect for my concept. I’m very happy with the session – it definitely felt like the first day of the rest of my life as a full-time author. Ivan was personal yet professional, and he came well prepared for our meeting. I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs advice on pitching an entire IP.
