RAVE REVIEWS FOR NOVEL BOOKCAMP

    Every instructor had a slightly different angle to how to make my manuscript better, which I enjoyed. Each instructor gave me at least one piece of valuable feedback that I plan to use.

    I have never in my life been so well prepared to pitch. The format of how the classes laid out the task in a structured way (including the class from the agent explaining what they want,) then to practice with another student (on our own): well done, people. I had nary a worry when I sat down and presented myself calmly (and apparently effectively). I have never seen this sequence of learning/practicing on a topic I fare so poorly at, and I truly appreciate it.

    The rooms for me were the perfect size and the right amount of furniture. I had space in the morning to work out and a quick convenient shower. Having the water and other beverages available at all times was a plus.
