Testimonials
- Thank you very much for your last critique on my story "Smoking The Opposition". I posted it on my writing site and it made "Today's Top Rated" for three days running. Your crit has helped me to no end; it was a great learning curve.
- I would like to thank you for your crit on "Always The Bad Guy". Two magazines took interest in it and I finally let it go to Crimespree Magazine. Over the moon!
- I've paid a lot more for a lot less, I can tell you. I'll be happy to recommend you to anyone looking for a crit.
- Your comments are really useful and the format works well. As this is the first story I've ever written, your critique has given me confidence to have a go at more.
- It has been great to have someone look at my story and give me some ideas about how I can improve it. I will take on board all your changes.
- Your critique has pinpointed the areas that I need to work on and given me a new outlook on the whole story, which has sparked ideas for improvements. I will definitely use your service again on any other stories that I write in the future.
