TESTIMONIALS

TJ
I was very fortunate to work with Wil. She was amazing and kind. Her encouraging words helped me a lot through the process. I’ll always be grateful for her help.
Carolina Heza
Wil provided very good feedback that helped me to improve my novel!
Susan
I am a first time author and unsure about the new industry I'm throwing myself into. I'm learning so much as I go. With that said, Wil Scott has been an instrumental part of me getting closer to my publishing goal... and with more confidence. It's a scary thing to have someone read your work for the first time. I was so lucky that Wil was one of the first handful of people I gave my manuscript to... She thoroughly read and understood my characters and storyline. I felt like I had gotten the message I wanted across because she dissected it perfectly. Her enthusiasm and support was invaluable. She found a few discrepancies in my novel that I'm very grateful for. She also had a few suggestions that really made sense and I'll be incorporating into my book. My book will be better because of her feedback and suggestions.
