Maria is in a word, outstanding. Her comments and insights about the plot and characters are incredibly helpful. I wrote a trilogy and from book one, which she read several months ago, through book three, her suggestions for deepening the characters have been a tremendous help to making these stories much better than they might have been. I highly recommend her work.
Maria was wonderful to work with. Her feedback on my short stories were not only specific and thoughtful, but they were also encouraging. I appreciated her suggestions that still took my style and intention in mind. I would highly recommend her services!
