“I just wanted to provide some feedback on Antonia … she was incredible! It was a joy to speak to her last night for our consultation. The feedback she provided on our call and in the report is something I will keep referring back to, for the future of this project, and all future projects. I couldn’t have wished for a better editor to review my manuscript. She came across as invested in me and the story I’m trying to tell. I’ll be forever grateful to Cornerstones and Antonia.” Manuscript assessment for Cornerstones Literary Consultancy
“Just when I was on the verge of despair I not only found a publisher but also two possible literary agents. Working on the bird in hand principle, I plumped for the publisher. So there we are dear Antonia. I must say it is largely thanks to you. Your advice was absolutely central to my producing an acceptable draft. Really. A huge, huge thank you. A million thank yous.” Manuscript development with indie author
