    I’m very impressed with Michaela’s report. It was very indepth, broke down the characters, good and flawed part of the story. To be honest, I planned on having another beta reader I’ve liked using look at it, but she didn’t have time for a quick turnaround. I considered Michaela for a day or two before...

    I waited on pins and needles for Michaela’s report, and she did not let me down. The first few stories I asked her to review had already been reviewed by other beta readers (after edits). This was the first one that she read hot off the press. Sixteen pages of in-depth analysis., all usable, along...

    Michaela’s suggestions are *amazing* and show how well she understands what I’m working on. After hopping around with other beta readers, I’m so glad I found her. Really, it’s a relief. When I’m done now, I don’t have that feeling of “it’s good enough”. I feel like I’m done, it’s finished, and I can...

    This was for a review of the second round of edits. She did a deep dive for me to make sure everything flowed. I’m going to say this at the risk of her becoming too busy to turn my work around so quickly. What Michaela gives is so much more than any beta reader I’ve used. She seems to make it her...

    Really exceptional report. Tons of great points and educated questions. She really delves in and gets to know the characters. There’s absolutely nothing robotic or shallow about her observations. I’ve thrown several stories by her and each time I get her report, I feel like she understood. She gets...
