Impressive Query Results with Baker!
I’m happy to say that, while I got absolutely no bites on my first round of querying, after working with Baker I now have four full manuscripts out for review! I am so thrilled!

A very encouraging query evaluation
Crafting my query letter was very stressful. I have some confidence in my storytelling, but I’m one of those folks that couldn’t sell an extinguisher to a man on fire. Emma Peters’ evaluation of my query gave me confidence even as she pointed out areas for improvement. Well worth the investment. Thank you, Emma!

Exactly What I Needed!
Samantha’s critique was targeted, specific and spot on. She emailed the critique before the due date with a warm and professional email. While she shared positives, the critique was largely focused on ways I could improve the piece which allowed me to immediately go back in and make changes. Although she only read the first 50 pages, her feedback helped me see problematic patterns throughout the manuscript and ways to fix them. Thank you so much for the excellent critique, Samantha.

Comments from a grateful author
Carina’s 50 page critique exceeded my every expectation. Her insights on worldbuilding, plot, and character arc were extremely helpful and very insightful. The line edits improved pace and voice but were done in line with her overall suggestions and the vision of the novel itself. I would highly recommend her services to anyone considering a review of their book.

Nailed it!
Excellent! Kelly Van Sant was right on point. I got the written critique and she gave me insights that others had not. Worth every penny.

Actionable Feedback for My Genre Blender!
Chelsey was great! She offered detailed feedback during our conversation that I am actively using to revise my first act. I asked the MA crew to identify a good match for my consultation, and they recommended Chelsey. She provided an actionable and thoughtful critique of my first thirty pages and my query. She asked questions about my work and had tailored feedback for me that helped me understand how to work with my novel, which blends several genres.

Clear, straightforward feedback that instantly transformed my opening pages
Erica Bauman provided me with clear, concise feedback. She was very conscious of the amount of time I had booked, and she used that time efficiently–exactly as I had hoped. I specifically requested frank feedback–I just wanted brass-tack advice without sugarcoating. She provided me with two very clear tips (regarding POV and chaos/confusion). I was able to incorporate these in just one hour of futzing with my manuscript and it improved things 10x over. I would definitely recommend her services.

Erica was so kind and helpful. I left our call feeling inspired and with a clear direction.
I’m so glad I booked a consultation. Erica was so helpful and gave me specific feedback regarding the query and first ten pages that left me feeling like I had a clear direction of where to go next. I left our call feeling inspired to jump back into the query and manuscript, rather than feeling daunted.

Timely advice and feedback for PB project!
Alyssa’s feedback was just what I needed before submitting to a publisher. She asked my specific concerns and deftly suggested a few edits and answered my concerns about clearly conveying the underlying message, from the perspective of both the art and words.

Critique
Monica went above and beyond with her critique of my query and first 3 chapters. Her insight and advice was on point and helped me see what needed to be addressed. She was very kind and answered all my questions. I would definitely ask her to critique my book again

Great Graphic Novel Feedback
Thanks Rachel for such a great review of my first 10 pages. Having my graphic novel manuscript reviewed by your professional eye definitely helped me make a revision plan, and the encouragement was so very nice. I feel ready and confident to get this manuscript into shape now!
