What People Say

“

Thank you for your help with my early draft on my middle grade Indian fantasy…. I just got into a competitive mentorship where they only had one spot for middle grade. I will now be mentored for 6 to 9 months by an editor at Macmillan!…. I wouldn’t have got there without help from you!

— Sara K., MG fantasy writer

“

The critique surpassed my expectations!…. This is the first time somebody has talked about my characters, and understood my characters, in the way I understand them. It’s made me realize I have to take more risks in my writing.

— Tyler K., novelist

“

I had finished a line-by-line review of Denise’s changes for the first thirteen chapters and realized I hadn’t disagreed with a single one and asked myself, ‘Why the hell are you doing this?’ and got no good answer…. She made my writing much better!

— Dennis W., novelist
