Randy and Laura were fast, efficient, and gave me useful feedback. They were friendly, easy to work with, and when they showed me what didn’t work in the story, I didn’t feel like I was being berated for being a bad writer, nor did I feel like he was trying to show off that he knew more than I did about story writing – a problem I’ve consistently found with unprofessional’s giving me feedback on my writing. I left our last session excited to work on my story, not burdened with having so much to fix. The clear goal I have for my story is thanks to their help and I don’t know if I would have found it without them. I’m seriously thinking of using their developmental editing services to develop my writing even more.
