Testimonials

“Working with Rough Drafft was a delight. I would highly recommend any writer pursuing their dream of publication to reach out to them and employ their services. I am part of a critique group and have worked with other critique partners in the past (for whom I am truly grateful), but the feedback and insights Rough Drafft provided reached a deeper level. The care and detail they poured into the evaluation of my story were evident and appreciated. Their insights were fresh and specific, and in turn, will help me to strengthen and improve my story. The advice I received regarding where my story may fit within the market was honest and helpful to continue my pursuit of publication. Previously, I had felt like I had run into a wall with this story. Now, I am excited to stick with it and improve it.” — Pierson P., author of Tonight’s The Night
