TESTIMONIALS

"Your incredibly insightful, detailed, and kind feedback is proving to be far superior to any other advice/critique I've received on my nascent experiments in writing thus far. Thank you so much for your generous and piercingly insightful words."

Madhurika, 2021

"I also appreciate you taking so much time and effort into helping me work on this story! It's rare to find editors giving personalized feedback and it's very welcome and appreciated!"

"...thank you for seeing something in the initial version and giving me those notes, they really made me think about the story in a new way!"

Kasey Szavai, author of "The Golden-Antlered Doe" Issue 2

 "I reflected on, and made, the changes you suggested -- particularly at the end of the story -- and I think the changes made it stronger.  Thanks again for your comments. 'Carmen' has always been one of my favorite stories, but I think it is now also one of my best." 

Matias Travieso-Diaz, author of "Carmen" Issue 3

"Thanks for the constructive criticism. It's thoughtful and on point. And when I make revisions, it will be with your feedback in mind."

Sharon, 2020

"Thank you so much for the very in-depth and helpful feedback. I am very appreciative of you devoting your valuable time to helping me improve my work. "
