Insightful and good conversation.
Jonathan was very insightful and gave me a ton of great advice as I set myself up to start querying my book.
His insight really helped with a few critical blind spots I had in my query that in retrospect were right in my face.
Well worth the time.

A great conversation
Met for a 15-minute session (Query plus ten pages) with Kelly.
I’ve never done anything like this before, so I was a little apprehensive, but she was great, putting me at ease, setting expectations, then taking me through the process.
I walked away with actionable suggestions, things that I could see improved my query immediately.
More importantly, she answered all my questions about the overall querying process and my documents.
Highly recommended!

Nour helped me decide on comp titles!
My session with Nour Sallam was so helpful. She narrowed down my most important comp titles, she asked great questions that pointed me in the best direction for my plot paragraph and she encouraged me to express myself in my bio. Thank you, Nour!

Worth every penny
Hannah Strouth gave me helpful and practical tips to improve my query. Specifically, she pointed out the two most important comp titles in my intro paragraph and she dug through the mud of my plot paragraph to pull out what mattered most. Thank you, Hannah!

Anjanette offered clarity, insight and warmth
Anjanette provided thoughtful, concise guidance on crafting picture books and developing a platform for success. Her enthusiasm for my manuscript and the proposed series made our conversation feel like the beginning of a meaningful collaboration. I am the author of several traditionally published books, but I truly appreciated learning more about the submission process for children’s picture books.

All the tools in one go.
Eric went above and beyond in ensuring the live chat goes as smoothly as possible. He provided written notes and comments on the query and first page the day before in order to give me time as well to prepare my own questions.
He was helpful, considerate and very thorough.
The meeting might have been 10 minutes but I got out of it with a wealth of knowledge I can implement going forward!
