    This went above and beyond of what I expected this service to go. When heard about this service I was like ain’t no way but this has been the best and honest feedback I’ve had about my work in my entire writing career of seven years and I’d be a repeat customer for certain.

    I'm so much more confident in releasing the sequel to my book thanks to Mike. His attention to detail is so good. And he does a really great job of pointing out where more show-than-tell is needed. I greatly appreciate that. If you need a Beta Reader, come right here! I can see my sales going from 800 to 8000 as soon as I release it! Thank you!

    Working with Michael has been a great experience. He gave great feedback on my work about my characters. Delivery was fast and accurate. He noticed things about my writing and characters most people didn't. I enjoy his work and am glad to work with him again
