Thanks very much for this. I will work on the recommendations, especially to speed up/improve the beginning. I’m feeling a little more hopeful about the story overall. Best regards, Elizabeth. - Elizabeth S.

Thank you very much for this. I find it quite helpful, and instructive. Especially the bias, it was definitely not intended. I simply did not realise it. Neither my editors. So, I will work some more on the story, and will take on board all the other raised questions. - Maria G.

Thank you so much for your manuscript assessment. Very interesting and helpful to read it from the perspective of a professional. I agree with your advice. As I said in my draft submission letter I have spent a large part of my life writing and delivering humorous material as I seem to find much of what people find important to be in fact open to a humorous interpretation. Once again many thanks. Kindest personal regards. Peter

Sorry it has taken so long to get to you. I’ve been swamped with day-job work. I also want to thank you for reading and providing thoughtful comments.

Dear Declan, I just wanted to thank you for your positive comments. Young Eagle Rising has taken me four years to write and I am delighted my efforts have given the story an authentic flavour and that you found it a worthwhile read. From the beginning I made up my mind William would not use the word 'Indian' and that I would stay as far away as possible from any 'John Wayne' portrayal of the Native Americans. I have only one question: do you have any advice on who I should sent it to for editing? Writerful seem to help with every stage which is very appealing to someone like me as I know little about the publishing world, but I'm sure there are many editors out there equally as good. If I choose Writerful Books, can I mention you have read it? Many thanks again!

Thanks Declan for your thorough breakdown of my book. Yours is the first feedback that is constructive. Friends and family are always a little too enthused and not always honest with their feedback. I will take your thoughts into consideration as I rework some of the chapters. Thanks so much for beta reading my book! Thanks, Tina.

Thanks very much for taking the time to read my story and for your kind comments, highlighting errors and raising points for further consideration. It's all very helpful and reassuring to know there's a story in it, from someone other than my girlfriend. Thanks again. Take care, Alan Corcoran. (Author of Marathon Man)

Thank you for another wonderful assessment. This is very helpful and I greatly appreciate your suggestions and compliments. Everything makes perfect sense. I'm working on the revisions now and I am very excited to complete the next draft. I was planning to start querying agents/publishers after that, but I was curious if you think feedback from beta-reading might be necessary/helpful before moving forward. Thanks, Patrick.

Thanks for the report. This novella was based on my adolescent understanding of Catholicism and American slavery, so the parallels are deliberate. I won't change dialogue, since it's meant to reflect indoctrination, but I will change the pertinent prose. I will also follow up on some of the other suggestions. Thanks, you've been very helpful.
