| | | Why try 2nd Draft Critique and Editing Services? The author providing feedback to me was great. She confirmed some things I questioned myself and also highlighted some areas and provided some insight I had not yet considered. She went well beyond my expectations. There was also a very quick turnaround time from the time she received it until the time she provided feedback to me. I was very satisfied. I will use the service again. | - Tracy, 2nd Draft Customer |
