“Heidi’s critique was incredibly insightful and lit a fire within me. Her feedback inspired me to dig into my manuscript and make revisions. Afterward I felt more prepared to submit my work with confidence. Her insightful critique is 100% worth the money, and my favorite part of working with her was developing a friendship with a fellow book lover who cares about my work.”
“Heidi makes the editing process a breeze to understand, and she took the time and care to understand what I wanted to say. She didn’t just critique my manuscript, she infused my story with a deeper meaning. Working with her gave me the confidence to put my work out there. Next time I write, I’ll be thinking about how I can give my stories more heart, or maybe I’ll just hire Heidi again. Working with her was absolutely delightful!”
