TESTIMONIALS

"Angela's critiques are as rich as her writing. She doesn't just provide line by line critiques, she digs deep into the manuscript. If you're looking for some real, heartfelt feedback, I highly recommend Angela!" ~Danielle Joseph, author
"I highly recommend Angela. With her background as an educator, author, and illustrator, she is perfectly poised to help take authors' manuscripts to the next level. She provides detailed, thorough, on-point feedback. This has helped me see my work from a different perspective, giving me the key to revisions. Angela is not only a consummate professional but a compassionate creative. This enables her to provide feedback and guidance in line with an author’s intentions and the spark of magic in a piece, which makes all the difference." ~Erin Fennell, author
"I've known Angela as a writer for over fifteen years, but I never had the pleasure of critiquing with her. As a middle-grade novelist, I have that genre down well, but I knew next to nothing about writing picture books and especially not about writing nonfiction picture books. When I received an R&R from a publisher, and I was about to bang my head against the wall trying to get the story right, I turned to Angela for help--knowing she's an accomplished picture book writer. She showed me line by line how to fix my story so that it was concise, engaging, and voice-y! As soon as my agent resubmitted the book, it sold. Angela is insightful and a wonderfully descriptive teacher. I would recommend her services to anyone looking to elevate their writing." ~ Kerry O'Malley Cerra, author
