Was extremely informative experience. Was able to provide great feedback and I appreciate more of the critical passes rather than the sugar coat. It will make for better revisions. Definitely recommend.

Much better analysis than I could have anticipated. Very useful. I have my work cut out, but that's better than not knowing. Thank you!

FAQ
Are you a native English speaker?

Ongoing collaborationStop. Stop reading other reviews and simply add Jonathan to your list. His reader report was 6k words of concise, thought-provoking, usable ideas. I know some readers may provide longer reports - but those just repeat the same content under different headings. If you are writing a memoir and want one of the best on FIVERR, hire him.
