Testimonials
“Sarah’s work on my manuscript was fantastic. Feedback from industry professionals is so often incredibly cryptic, so to have an expert, detailed report which actually makes suggestions is invaluable – not only that, the suggestions themselves are wonderful! Sarah helped me to understand certain aspects of the story much better, and as a result I was able to think about it with a great deal more clarity. I highly recommend Sarah to writers at all stages of drafting.”
Joseph Coward, author of Run-Out Groove and Jude & Rita

“The wonderful Sarah de Souza has been the calm voice of reason and encouragement for over a year now. Her sharp eye and canny insights have made the final version of A Savage Moon considerably better than it might have been.”
Theodore Brun, author of the Wanderer series
“Thorough and thoughtful, Sarah gave me many tips on how to clarify my story and also informed me about current trends in the market and how to take these trends into consideration for my story revisions. She did a phenomenal job reading and critiquing my manuscript. She was clear and concise in her commentary and I especially liked our one on one zoom session where we were able to discuss her feedback in more depth and detail. Thanks again Sarah!
