Testimonials And Reviews

Dani Segelbaum was great. She reviewed my query letter and first ten pages and gave me great advice. I am rewriting that part of my work to her suggestions. She told me how I should set up my query to be more effective and my first ten pages to hold people’s interest. She thought the hook in the first ten pages was fine. I ran it by a couple of people, and they think it does read a lot better. They liked my first version, but like the way this reads much better. It was time and money well spent with Dani, and enjoyed our conversation. She is without question excellent at what she does and a very kind person.

At first, I was hesitant to book a session ó†$100 seemed like so much money for just 15 minutes of face time. But several of my author friends on Instagram had a great experience, so I took the plunge. I’m so glad I did! It wasn’t just the 15 minutes of face time, but the opportunity to have an agent actually review my submission thoroughly in advance so we could have a conversation about it. Dani Segelbaum was so friendly, helpful and encouraging. Her enthusiasm for my query letter and initial pages gave me the confidence I needed to head back into the querying trenches feeling good about my work, and her suggestions for tweaks to make my submission the best it could be were so helpful. She also provided some general suggestions for dealing with the often discouraging query process as well. I would highly recommend Dani and Manuscript Academy for anyone considering a consultation like this.
