Testimonials

The Editor's Eye category provides detailed suggestions and comments on how to make one's work stand out and become even stronger. These submitters paid a fee for a professional critique, and here are some of their responses.


These comments are fantastic; more useful than several classes I've taken in poetry. You're very good!! Thank you so much! I will consider your suggestions and thank you for the direction. I've been wanting, for years now, for someone to explain to me what my poems are either doing or not doing in terms of "working." Just priceless.

Thank  you for your very insightful comments on my poems. It’s so helpful to find out where the reader gets lost! The dangers of living in one’s own head, I guess.

Thank you so much for all your feedback; it is chalk [sic] full of good ideas and I really appreciate your thoroughness. I'm pretty prolific but I'm an awful reviser, but this gave me a lot of different directions to go.

Thanks so much for your encouraging words and your right-on insight! I will indeed take your thoughts to heart and resubmit to your regular submissions.

(Second submission) I really liked the extremely thorough and insightful feedback you provided following my last submission in this category, and so I'm sure that anything you have to say will be helpful.
