In-Person Coaching

"It's clear that although you are providing a paid service, you all take each writer's work to heart, almost like it's yours. You respect what the writer wants it to be, but you are also clear in pointing out aspects that are weak or missing."
—Kathie Shoop (signed with a New York agent after revising her novel and working on her query in Book Boot Camp)
