What Others Have Said

"As a new author, entering the query trenches can be very overwhelming. Omar recently critiqued my query letter and provided me invaluable feedback and insight. He did a fabulous job of understanding what I was trying to say but was struggling to communicate."- Jessica J.

"I recently enlisted Omar’s help for a query letter and manuscript and was very happy with the feedback I received. Omar worked efficiently but diligently, providing me with lots of ideas for developing the story, as well as improving the writing. He was incredibly easy to work with and was willing to go above and beyond to continue to assist after the initial feedback. I will definitely be turning to Omar for help with future writing projects."- Humera Malik, Author of "The Great Henna Party"
