Testimonials

Tessy was amazing! Her critiques were knowledgeable and helpful. She dedicated a lot of time and thought into both her extensive reader report and her detailed in-line notes.

— Meghan Rhine

What great feedback from Tessy. She really seemed to connect with the work which made me feel so comfortable listening to her input. The suggestions she made were fantastic.

— Shane Ryan

Tessy did an absolutely amazing job with my book. I knew there were things wrong with it but didn’t know why or how to fix them. She answered both those questions for me.
