Real writers. Real reviews.

It was exactly what I needed to fix my story going forward. It gave the positive and the negative and rated from minor to major, which was extremely helpful.

This is a comprehensive analysis of a manuscript of 101,000 words in 6-9 minutes. Wow!

I was amazed at the depth of the analysis. Initially, I disagreed with some analysis, but after checking further I realized the potential for more depth to my story. Thank you.

I loved this!!! I was struggling with such a large manuscript - making sure all parts were pulled through and made sense. I really liked the rating system. This whole analysis of the story was so helpful. Thank you!

It gave a thorough rundown of what the issues were and then gave suggestions on improvements, which was amazing.

It exceeded all expectations. I specifically liked the in-depth information given when clicking on the information tab. This is highly useful in helping a writer to learn how to correct the issues suggested and therefore hone their craft.
