What Clients Say

I requested a sensitivity read for a 1920’s horror/historical novel with a Black MC and worked with Alexis Simms. Her feedback was clear and concise, and helped me understand how to push the story to be more accurate for the character as well as how to deepen the social friction I didn’t personally have experience with. Erin’s coordination of the process was pristine. I will definitely be returning when another manuscript needs assistance. <3

Alexis hit exactly where I had my concerns but wasn’t sure how to proceed without writing experiences I can’t attest to. Reading Black authors and researching helped, but Alexis has been invaluable. I’m grateful for her insight.
