What Writers Are Saying

Real feedback from authors who've worked with me

5

Winter exceeded expectations. I appreciate the care and respect given in their critiques and comments. Their critiques were constructive and thoughtful. They posed questions that I hadn't even considered and provided amazing feedback. They were also more than willing to answer any clarifying questions and to share their thoughts on possible directions. The insight provided is going to tremendously help me improve my story. I feel energized and optimistic from Winter's input. I liked my story before but after these edits, it's going to be on a whole new level.
