    Shelia's notes on my memoir were extremely detailed and helpful. I got way more than I expected. She thoroughly explained what worked and could use revisions on character arch, pacing, tone, voice, relatability and structure. I'm a newbie at this and felt so cared for and respected by Shelia. She was...

    Shelia was a joy to work with and reading her beta notes to my partial manuscript was not only fun and frankly a bit emotional (powerful to get the reader reaction to the characters I’ve developed!), but highly insightful and useful as I move into Act3. Thank you Shelia :)

    This is my first time using a beta reader. I will never use one again. She signed an NDA to not run my novel through AI, and she clearly did. I am not an idiot; I know AI when I see it. Also, the characters were wrongly named, and she mentioned things that didn't even happen in my story. I am so very...
