    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...

    Woof! This is yet another project Michaela has applied her genius to. There is so much in her report, points that are so well defined rather than ‘this chapter loses my interest’ or the like. She is the only reader I want reviewing my work, and I’ll keep asking her to as long as she’s still willing.

I’ve thrown several stories by her and each time I get her report, I feel like she understood. She gets...

    Michaela read a story that I was considering shelving. Her very in depth report makes me rethink that. I wasn’t sure I could make it work but the points she made, highlighting the good and the bad, is making an overwhelming project seem doable.

    Hello to all creative people. I'm an indie B level writer who writes different genres for a hobby. I need feedback so I ask Michaela for advice. I have worked with her over the past year, and she helps me by making suggestions. Especially with inline comments. My drafts are difficult, but she handles...
