    Gloria was great to work with. I haven't read her entire feadbach but so far I like what I see. She did exactly what I feel a beta reader should do and I wish my free beta readers would go into such detailed explanation.

    I love working with Gloria; she has a great understanding of my work, and her insights are super helpful. She takes the time to understand a novel, I was very grateful for her detailed suggestions, and her pointers about character, dialogue and exposition were amazing!
