Zooomed an extremely productive and enjoyable fifteen minutes with Katie discussing my query letter and first ten pages. She was well prepared and told me not only how to rearrange and tighten up my letter but also some details to add in.

Despite my asking for a “harsh” critique, Hannah was kind as well as helpful. She gave me positive feedback and pointed out specifically how I could “increase the stakes” for my protagonist in my query. She answered all my questions with patience and insider insights.

Katie was great. She answered all my questions about the industry and agents’ expectations. She also gave me some fresh ideas for my blurb. I have implemented all her suggestions and am in the process of querying agents. I have more hope than ever that I will find someone to help me break into traditional publishing!

My consultation with Kaitlyn was so much more than I expected. She tightened up my query letter and provided invaluable suggestions to improve my manuscript. What an incredible session!!!

Caitlin provided good feedback on my query, telling me what worked and what needed work. This helped me realize that sometimes one must sacrifice some important element of the story to make the query easier to digest, if there is not enough room for context that important element calls for.

Carina Licon is most of all kind. She addressed problems with my query while also highlighting things she thought were the most impactful. She gave tangible suggestions for how to set up the query better. Ms. Licon was organized in her thoughts on my first 10 pages. She used every last second. It was helpful hearing what she found strong and what jumped out to her. She thoughtfully addressed strengths and weaknesses in those pages. I’m really glad I did this and am very grateful I picked her since she worked hard to get me to see things from the editor’s perspective.

Renee Fountain provided a critique of my query letter and the first ten pages of my manuscript. Her feedback was concise and insightful. She provided very specific examples of how to fix my work. She’s straightforward, professional and she’s not afraid to push you toward a better finished product. Cannot recommend her enough!

BiBi was very approachable and helpful. She was specific in the things she liked about my query letter and sample pages, and also about the few things she thought I’d benefit from tweaking. Even down to a single word, in one case. (The word was “intrigued,” fyi.) I appreciate her thoughtful feedback. Those 15 minutes flew by, though, so I’m glad I came prepared!
