I just wanted to say thank you. Your voice is actually what I needed to hear after being talked down to about my writing and editing. Although I made it to the top 3 bestsellers list in several categories, my spirit was broken and my confidence in my abilities had turned into anxiety. Your approach was a constructive evaluation of my work. It was inviting and uplifting. The heaviness about writing and approaching publications (pitching) was released and my superpower has been restored. Thank you.
