I hired Vyv to review my science fiction novel, and I received a 31-page report with very actionable feedback that I found extremely helpful! I am very pleased with the feedback and consider hiring Vyv to be money well spent!

This is my first attempt at writing a book and the report I received answered all of my questions and doubts with a detailed explanation and gave me guidance as to what I should do to further my writing. I can’t say how fantastic and informative this report has been . I’m definitely planning on continuing to work with Vyvyan .
