“These days an author has only one opportunity to make a first impression on a publisher, so a professional edit will maximize the impression you make.

I highly recommend Valerie’s critique service to any writer wanting to improve their chances of getting published.”

"Valerie is an outstanding editor with a keen knowledge of what makes a manuscript work and what makes it saleable.
