    Very happy with the quality of Shaun's feedback. The inclusion of genre suitability feedback was a welcome surprise as I begin thinking about the self-publishing process. I knew I was far down on the waiting list, but Shaun was very communicative, and I knew what to expect. He identified two persistent...

    Shaun did the development edit of my fiction manuscript. His inline comments and suggestions were very helpful in improving the quality of the manuscript.
