“Sara is definitely the person to go to if you ever are in need of someone to give commentaries, critiquing, or annotating on your writing. She is fast with her responses and is filled with so many ideas. She is definitely the person to go to if you need someone to guide you in the right direction. Honestly, I have no idea where I would be if it weren’t for Sara’s help. I wouldn’t have been able to graduate college if it weren’t for her. She has helped me through so many papers, and writing projects. I even asked her to read over my cover letters for jobs.” -Elaine Chan

"Sara is very analytic, and picks up on every detail. She writes really thorough beta reports, and is honestly one of the best beta readers that I've come across. She makes helpful, though not pushy suggestions, and has strong perspectives about character, plot, and continuity. I would highly recommend her." - Kat S, Writer
"Sara Cheesewright has a unique skill for critiquing manuscripts. To say that she handled each of my novels with care and editorial-level attention to detail does not do her justice. I found her to be incredibly professional in both manner and expertise -- not only did she offer both suggestions and solutions to elevate my writing, she also taught me a handful of literary techniques and referred several helpful literary and media resources. She was also very timely and reasonably priced. I think most writers are aware that they are a bit too attached to their work, and I really appreciated how balanced Sara was in her evaluation -- critical, but respectful and encouraging. I honestly believe she is better than 2-3 beta readers combined, and in the short time I have worked with her I can honestly say that both my novels and my writing ability have grown exponentially. Ultimately, Sara is a vital resource if you're looking to elevate your writing." - Uche O. Writer
