Testimonials

Your advice is the best! I always send people to you! - Betsy Lerner, Literary Agent and Author

I’m lucky enough to have had Gina critique and edit my work for years. Her critical eye has helped me polish and revise four novels that have gone on to be traditionally published. As an editor, she excels in characterization and plot, but she also keeps abreast of trends and tropes in publishing so that she can give feedback on ways to make tired storylines fresh again. She is a consummate professional who communicates clearly and is always responsive and timely in her feedback. I can’t imagine sending a book into the world without her input. - Kate Watson, YA and Adult Romance Author â€‹

Spend five minutes with her, and you will know that you have met a master of narrative. She has a distinct style, whether in her use of phrasing and timing in storytelling or her chosen methods of teaching. In addition to her own writing, Gina dedicates her life to creative endeavors, creating a safe haven for students with creative prospects; she creates positive environments for others to build the same capabilities. - Eileen Souza, Book Reviewer​

I value Gina's opinion immediately in my own writing. She has a sharp eye for pacing, plot, and character development that is invaluable in honing my work. I depend upon Gina to be honest and focused with the manuscripts I send her, and she always lives up to the expectation. Gina has a distinct skill in narration that always keeps me immersed in the story, whether a rough first draft or polished submission-ready material. - Raneé S. Clark, Romance Author

Just wanted to let you know that I started querying shortly after working with you on my letter a few weeks ago. I already have two full manuscript requests from literary agents! Thanks for your keen eye and expertise. - Dr. Jennifer Jones, Romance Author

I am eternally grateful for the feedback and advice you've given me. I started querying a week ago today, and I received a full request already! I have no doubt it's because of your help. - Tegan Caesare, SFF Author

We're writing to let you know that our querying process was a wild success and it is in no small part due to the amazing query letter that you helped us bring into shape, as well as all of the priceless writing lessons we've learned from following you on social media.

 

We had 16 full manuscript requests and 7 offers of representation and we ended up signing with the amazing Pete Knapp at Park & Fine.

 

Truly, it has been overwhelming.

 

Once again, thank you so much and fingers crossed (again) that our book will be picked up by a publisher in the near future. - Elizabeth Sagan and James Trevino, Co-Authors of SFF

I wanted to write you again to thank you for your work on my query letter.  I've sent out a big batch of queries to agents, and another to small independent publishers.

 

So far, 3 publishers have asked for full manuscripts, with one offering me a contract!!   Also, two agents have the full manuscript.  I've had a few rejections (of course) but one agent was very kind and said the premise looked intriguing but he was too full to take another project at this time.   

 

So, overall, I think we should high-five.  I'd say your help with the query was a resounding success, and at the very least, I have a publisher offering to publish the book today.  - Todd Severin, Thriller Author
