    Vivienne provided an incredibly detailed and thoughtful alpha reading of the first ten chapters of my manuscript, which went far beyond my expectations.

    I sent out 4 projects for beta readers. Vivienne confirmed what all the other beta readers had pointed out with my manuscript, the difference with her was she also came with example solutions from my own writing. Big difference.
