Author Testimonials for Heidi

5 stars. Heidi's feedback was phenomenal. It was detailed and she went out of her way to provide detailed feedback to help improve a protagonist that was not remotely likeable. She even left a plethora of comments in the manuscript, pointing out sentences that aided the story vs. detracted from it.

—Eli Abernathy, author of Cubicles Anonymous
5 stars. Heidi's thoughtful and intelligent comments were quite valuable in identifying possible problem areas while providing encouragement at the same time. Particularly useful were her declarations of what works and what needs to be punched up or expanded. I am not making all the changes she suggested, but I gave each one careful consideration because I respect her thinking process and her stated reasons. She is my current favorite in Starr's wonderful stable of beta readers.

5 stars. Heidi was wonderful! The whole process of beta readers, literary agents, publishers, etc. can be very intimidating and overwhelming, but Heidi's feedback helped me feel so much more comfortable and at ease. Her comments are invaluable to me, and it was so easy to see that she honestly took the time and effort to go through my book thoroughly and give me the critique I was hoping for. I will definitely use her suggestions to improve my story, and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch beta reader!

5 stars. Heidi's review was as thoughtful and meticulous as a review can be. She highlighted what she thought worked and put critical thought into areas I could explore that would add depth and pace. She cited numerous passages to evidence her points, which made it easy to understand and agree with her. She wasn't afraid to be candid with regard to passages that didn't work, and I'm grateful that she identified several blind spots I had as a writer. I would recommend her to anyone.

5 stars. Heidi's feedback was timely, thoughtful, and detailed. Her critique and suggestions were encouraging and useful. She provided some comments in my manuscript in addition to answers to the questionnaire, and she provided examples from my manuscript in her answers to indicate ares that struck her as working particularly well. It's always helpful to see where a reader perceives your strengths.

5 stars. It was a tremendous boost to my confidence. I have major self-doubt about this piece and was thinking of withdrawing it from consideration by an agent and publishing house. But after reviewing the positive comments as well as constructive criticism, I'm going to revise and go for it!

—Sheila Myers, author of Chapter 29
