"Your 2nd Draft Critique Service was just what I needed. Not only did it help with areas that needed fixing, it also helped motivate me to keep going. My prior writing experience did not include the writing of a novel, so I had doubts as to whether or not I was even headed in the right direction. I didn’t want to write ninety thousand plus words, only to find out that I’d need to fix everything. The editor assigned to my first fifty pages was very helpful. He pointed out all areas that needed to be worked on, but also pointed out the positives of my book. With his help, I fixed the areas he pointed out to me and submitted to a couple of publishers. Actually got back excellent feedback on the book itself. Now I just need to submit to a publisher that is looking for this type of story. Thanks again, 2nd Draft Critique Service was just what I needed to help guide me in the right direction without spending a fortune."

"2nd Draft offered me a professional pair of fresh eyes and the spit shine my manuscript needed. I can now submit my first three chapters without hesitation."

"I was extremely pleased with the results I got from 2nd Draft. As a new writer, I was dying for some professional advice after finishing my first novel. The critique I received was invaluable. My editor, Terri Valentine, sent me a personal letter giving me advice on everything from POV flaws to grammatical mistakes to ways of making my book more of a page turner. In addition, she left comments, corrections, and suggestions throughout the pages I sent her. I will be forever grateful. Thank you 2nd Draft!"

"The author providing feedback to me was great. She confirmed some things I questioned myself and also highlighted some areas and provided some insight I had not yet considered. She went well beyond my expectations. There was also a very quick turnaround time from the time she received it until the time she provided feedback to me. I was very satisfied. I will use the service again."

"I sent three short stories from an up-coming book to 2nd Draft and was pleasantly surprised by the critique. Gloria Kempton did a full page single spaced critique on each story. She had some very good ideas for some additions to my writing. It was nice to have a fresh eye look at my work. I am a member of a writers group and get critiques from all of them, but having someone take a look at my work ‘cold’ without knowing me was much appreciated and helpful. If Gloria is typical of the other members of 2nd Draft it would be money well spent to get there feedback."

"For me, the Second Draft Critique, was an invaluable tool. The 'critiquer' was knowledgeable and gave me some good ideas about my manuscript. I hadn’t published anything in a while, but, I sent her the draft of my Christian manuscript–and I was encouraged by her feedback. I’m glad I sent it in."

:I am serious about my writing. I’ve been successful with business articles and books, but I want to write mystery stories. It’s more difficult that I though. My wife likes everything I write, of course, but she doesn’t publish books. So I turned to various services that promise to make my book a success. In each case I was left angry and disappointed. I don’t think they even read the book. When Writer’s Digest offered it Draft Critique, I gave it a shot. The result was a wonderful surprise–opinions that made sense–real help, The critique was written with sensitivity and care, well worth the investment."
