“Vanessa read my manuscript with care and very graciously alerted me to several ways in which I had unknowingly fallen into stereotypical description and attitudes toward my African-American characters. In addition to this, she recommended additional resources that I used to create more realistic, three-dimensional characters, which I believe is one of the goals of almost every writer. As if that wasn’t enough, she asked several questions which helped me to improve the story in other areas. I will not hesitate to contact Vanessa in the future and recommend her in the highest terms possible.”

“Vanessa excels at providing thorough disability read feedback. She asked if I need clarification or have questions, and I had the ability to schedule a follow-up call after receiving her feedback. All of her notes have been extremely helpful and I’m grateful I hired her for her services. I know it will make my manuscript stronger and I can send out my queries to literary agents with confidence.”

“Vanessa Marie (Vanessa Marie Books) recently provided a diversity/disability read for me and also offered some developmental suggestions for my latest book. Her comments and suggestions have been extremely helpful. I highly recommend her, without reservation. After receiving her comments, we chatted about her suggestions and my book’s revision progress for an hour. It was obvious to me that she knew my book thoroughly. She is highly professional and passionate about books. She also knows a great deal about issues related to diversity and disability.”
