Client Feedback
Sam R.
Brynne is a talented creator and a keen attention to detail. She pointed out mistakes that editing software hasn't, and was genuine in her feedback. What I always appreciate is someone who is genuinely excited to elevate my manuscript like Brynne was! Her notes on page were uplifting, encouraging and I could sense her passion through every word. Thank you for taking the time to take something I'm extremely proud of to make it something better and being someone who cared.

I recently used Draftwell Editing for a first chapter critique, and I honestly couldn’t be more impressed. The feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and incredibly insightful without ever feeling overwhelming or discouraging. They struck that perfect balance between highlighting what’s working and offering clear, actionable suggestions for improvement.
What stood out most was how deeply she engaged with the story itself. She went beyond surface-level edits, and she provided meaningful commentary on character inferiority. It felt to me that she truly got what I was trying to do and helped elevate it rather than reshape it into something else.
If you’re looking for feedback that is both professional and encouraging (especially on something as important as a first chapter) I would absolutely recommend Draftwell Editing. It gave me clarity, confidence, and a much stronger opening to move forward with.

I had a great experience with Draftwell Reading and Editing. The feedback that they gave me was very specific and actionable, something I always appreciate from editors. Highly recommended for anyone that is looking to get feedback on her stories.

Draftwell exceeded my expectations with their thorough and generous (details-wise!) review of my opening chapter. Obviously, these first pages are some of, if not, the most important aspects of a novel, and I was absolutely delighted with the way she read and reviewed my work. She quickly understood the tone and style I was going for which is, admittedly, unusual, and rather than suggest I change it, she understood it was the voice and gave me several ways to adjust without losing the musicality and tense. She asked clarifying questions, offered really wonderful line edit notes, and even gave me a meaningful overarching observation that I hadn't considered. Furthermore, she read my work in just one day! Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Draftwell Reading and Editing! Brynne took a look at my first chapters and I was impressed with how thorough her comments were. The feedback was in-depth, but not overwhelming. Not only were the edits helpful with puncuation and spelling, but Brynne also pointed out when I was repetitive and offered other word options. I feel like my chapter was well taken care of, and also felt like I had the tools to make my chapter better thanks to Brynne's help! 100% would recommend Draftwell's services!!
