"Susan has a keen eye and an excellent sensibility. I have worked with her in the past for complete beta reads and also chapter level critiques. Her comments and critiques are always focused on the craft of writing and on how to improve and strengthen your scenes and narrative. I highly recommend her. " Cathy Tully, USA Today bestselling author, The Chiro Cozy Series
