    I’ve worked with Vyv through several stages of my first novel, from the developmental edit through to the final agent submission package. His attention to detail and advice have been excellent throughout, and the final package was incredibly thorough and professional and I’m already looking forward to working with him again.

    What an excellent report of the pro, cons, development opportunities and general content of the manuscript I received. As a new-writer on a historically complex novel the guidance and feedback is stella, and might even help me to be the writer I'd like to be.

    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!

    I was extremely impressed with Vyv’s work. His feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and clearly based on a careful reading of the manuscript. He identified both what was working and where the story could be stronger, with specific observations I can actually use in revision. Professional, insightful, and...
