Sara Crowe, literary agent, reader’s reports
“Allison's reports on both queries and requested manuscripts were extremely helpful to me in my decision making. She is thoughtful, thorough and astute. Her knowledge of the market brings so much to her reading and her reports, and I came to value and trust her opinion greatly. She has also acted as a second reader on my clients' manuscripts, and her edits and input were incredibly helpful in identifying issues and solving them!”

“Allison is the rare person who really understands a writer's intentions and provides specific, helpful, and constructive feedback. Thanks to her precise and empathetic approach, I was able to rework confusing plot and character details and rethink the pacing of the stories. I also really appreciate her enthusiasm and real interest - I trusted her sound judgment and feedback.”
Dustin kinard, query letter read
“New to the writing world, it’s hard to really find your way amongst so many avenues. Having Allison work with me to get my query letter to a place that felt professional gave me the confidence that I needed to send it out to agents. She gave me the edits and tips that I needed to start marketing myself in a busy and often confusing industry.”

“Allison’s insightful views on early plot and character development were invaluable to me. A strong, intelligent writer in her own right, her challenges made me step outside of the story and write more with the reader in mind.”
