“Without your guidance and support I’m certain I wouldn’t have achieved such an outcome. My agent was so excited by my manuscript that she read it in a day and gave me immediate feedback (…). I took on board all your advice (…). I’m sure you’ve helped plenty of other first-time authors on their road to the publishing world, but I really wanted to thank you for your inciteful views and skilled analysis. Needless to say, if and when my book is published, you’ll be getting a credit.“
M. Fisher – Client, now represented by Jo Williamson at Anthony Harwood literary agency
“Your feedback has been indispensable, and the way in which you respond actually always left me in awe! You manage to critique in the most polite and encouraging way imaginable, and always search for positive things for us to hold on to :) Your comments were always so clearly well though out and your efforts are very much appreciated. As a teacher who expends time and effort for his students, I think it is only fair that you should know the effect you had, on this student at least…“
Rafif Al-R – Client
“Thank you for the very detailed report. The feedback is quite excellent. I can see exactly where you are coming from and agree with pretty much everything that you have said – I really like the idea of a form of prologue. (…) It truly was a well-considered and thought-provoking report.“
Martin W – Client
“Just to say that as a new client, I have been impressed with the end to end service from Jericho Writers. I was very pleased by the quality and depth of the manuscript assessment I received. It added a much needed professional lens to my script and will help me complete it, saving me time and my sanity! Thank you Haydn and JW Team.“
Kathryn T – Client
“Your feedback is incredibly useful and has given me quite a bit to consider. I look forward to now diving back into the text and reworking it based on your input.”
