    Blair was great! She provided incredibly detailed notes and edits and went well fair above my expectations. Her insights ranged from minor wording edits to overarching character and narrative feedback. Mostly importantly, it was all very direct, actionable feedback with clear direction and suggestions to improve the work. Highly recommend!
