Testimonials:   

"Thank you so much for your insightful suggestions and eagle eye! I am trying to think up ways to up the tension, perhaps by having harriet be more actively bullied. You gave me a lot to think about and I am grateful!" - Suzanne Holland

 

“I loved your insightful comments and professional critique. I had gone as far as I could by myself, yet I knew this story could be made better. You have aimed me in the right direction to make this story really ready for submission. I also appreciate being able to ask questions for further clarification. I feel you have really helped me in a way no one else has. You were clear and above all, patient yet professional.”

-Sally Phillips

 

Thank you for such a helpful, thoughtful, honest critique. It really was helpful. I'll work on it keeping your suggestions.” -Mayra Calvani

 

"Thank you for your kind words. I feel that your service was a very valuable experience. After I read your critique, I was disapointed that the manuscript needs so much revising, but I am also very excited to have this opertunity to make it better. I stayed up half of the night writing notes and thinking of ways to put your advice to action. With your helpful suggestions I am confident that I will be able to bring my characters to life. I am very encouraged and inspired, I appricate your help." -Darrin

"Some time ago, you critiqued my children's picture book text, "Edward the Bear and the Willow Treasures" I am just writing to thank you for those comments and to let you know that the publisher I sent the story to liked the story. They have made some recommendations and have requested a rewrite. . . I am hoping that the publisher would not have taken the time to request a rewrite unless they were seriously considering the story for publication." - Jeff Doherty

 
"I'm very glad VS Grenier had the time to look at my story.  She provided very valuable insights and provoked me to think deeper about my approach.  All in all, this story, and any I may write in the future, will be benefited by her expertise.  I am pleased and challenged by her feedback and would suggest her critique service to anyone.  She's not about boosting your ego.  She's about helping you.  And that she does well." -Dave Gregg
 
"Virginia has a keen eye for narrative flow. She caught some repetitive wordings that none of my other critiquers noticed. With her pointing them out, I was able to vary my phrasing, improving the pace and readability of the entire story." -Karina Fabian
