Feedback is subjective, and my goal is to provide professional insights to help your manuscript shine. During the 30-minute follow-up call, we’ll discuss my suggestions, and you can decide which recommendations align with your vision.
Will you help me find an agent or publisher?
While I can guide you on preparing your manuscript for submission and answer questions about the querying process, this package does not include agent or publisher matchmaking.
