  • "Ramona’s feedback on my picture book manuscript was invaluable. She not only identified key areas for improvement, such as tone and character development, but also highlighted details I had overlooked. Her guidance was both clear and inspiring, motivating me to revise my story until I arrived at a draft I feel much more confident about. I cannot recommend Ramona highly enough to anyone seeking expert insight and guidance on their picture book manuscript."

  • “Ramona was very positive and respectful of my story/concept while still providing constructive feedback . . . I believe my story could significantly improve once I implement what we discussed. The session was highly interactive, and her insights regarding tone of voice, tempo, and character personality were particularly helpful.”
