Testimonials

‘Kathrin Spinnler has been critiquing and beta reading my novels for several years now and never fails to give useful and encouraging feedback. Writing is a sport where you need team members, and she should be among your first picks.’

- Dylan West, SFF author of the Scribes Series

‘Kathrin's critiquing style is both helpful and encouraging. She not only seeks out and highlights hard-to-find SpaG problems, points out where excessive wording slows the pace and where what is offered has become confusing or awkward, she also provides great suggestions as to how the writer might go about fixing these problems. Her critiques are thorough and show she reads and analyzes what is written by helping to help find ways for the writer to go deeper into the characters, scenes and plot. Most of all, Kathrin's critiques identify the areas where the writer has done things right. I end up feeling encouraged after reading her critiques and always look forward to receiving more of her helpful advice.’

- B.T., YA Writer

'Kathrin is an astute reader who delivers extraordinary critiques with great attention to detail. She's been instrumental in helping me polish my latest WIP!'

- A.E., Women’s Fiction Writer

‘Kathrin's critique of my novel was candid, perceptive and thorough. Her insight and clarity have been invaluable in helping make my writing the best it can be. I will be requesting her eagle -eyed scrutiny for future work.’

- V.L., Women’s Fiction Writer
