Some generous and kind comments along with some solid pick ups. I’ve not yet had the ms proofread in case it needed some serious work, hence the typos. - AJ F.Read Moreread less - Pat K. Thank you for the valuable feedback on both the strengths and weaknesses of Windshift. I'll be working on those improvements during the weeks ahead. Thanks again, Pat. - Pat K.Read Moreread less - Jupiter H. Thank you guys so much for the feedback! I’m sorry the first part was so hard to get through. I had concerns with a lot of the things that were mentioned, especially regarding pacing and if I started in the right place. This cleared up a lot of that and hopefully I can address a lot of the issues pointed out. - Jupiter H.Read Moreread less - Patricia L.

I'm slowly working through your suggested edits.. - Tammy A.Read Moreread less - Katherine S. Please let the reader know that I'm flattered, and none of your beta readers should ever fear causing offense. I want their honest opinions, besides I'm pretty thick-skinned 🙂 - Katherine S.Read Moreread less - Denise N. Thank you for my Evaluation. I was quite excited and nervous to read the feedback. Your feedback was really great. I do understand what you are saying. My biggest thing I did get from the feedback was, I am obviously not getting my message across about the most important topic of all, which is, negative money thoughts, all to do with the mind. It is not about, financial security, independence etc it is about looking at your money thoughts and language. If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear from you, if not, thank you again. - Denise N.Read Moreread less - Sharon J. 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! - Sharon J.Read Moreread less - Rebecca A. Thank you very much for your work. It is clear to me you have read the manuscript thoroughly and I appreciate your direct feedback. I already feel excited about the potential for improvement you have outlined that I wasn't able to see on my own. What's more, I've also seen clear evidence that I made the right decision in deciding to get a manuscript assessment from your detailed comments alone. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you again. Rebecca - Rebecca A.Read Moreread less - Liljana F. Thank you so much - this is exactly what I needed to be able to improve my manuscript.
