“Melissa’s suggestions covered some big structural issues and every conceivable mistake in grammar and usage. She probably saved me several years of disappointment in sending my not-ready-for-prime-time manuscript to agents and publishers. Given the quality, quantity, and depth of her comments, her turnaround time was shockingly fast. Working with Melissa was a joy.”

"Melissa uses care and intelligence when commenting on my work. Her depth of experience as a writer and her knowledge of the publishing industry is invaluable. In many cases, she has helped me to redirect a particular piece to a more appropriate market, saving me hours of time and effort."
