“Rachelle Gardner gave my work the kind of attention and insight that’s hard to find. Her written critique was thorough and thoughtful, and our hour-long Zoom discussion brought even deeper clarity to her feedback. She helped me understand exactly how to strengthen my query, synopsis, and opening chapters — and helped me rewrite my query letter to elevate it. This was easily the best $250 I’ve invested in my writing.”

“I had the opportunity to meet with Rachelle for a coaching session, and it was wonderful. Her analysis of my novel helped me see what needed to be done to take it to a higher level. Her supportive communication style transformed the often challenging process of receiving detailed feedback into an unexpectedly pleasant experience. I keep going back to her thorough written notes whenever I need clarity. She’s knowledgeable and insightful, and she presents her comments and suggestions with kindness and respect. I highly recommend Rachelle’s coaching sessions!”
Adriana Gomes
“I met Rachelle Gardner at an ACFW conference several years ago. We discussed a novel I wrote, and she helped me find a pseudonym because my last name is a challenge to spell and pronounce. I’ve always admired her professional attitude, honesty, integrity, and sincerity. Anyone who has the privilege of working with her will quickly realize why she is a highly respected agent in an ever-changing industry.”
Julia Kay
“My coaching session with Rachelle was invaluable. She helped me to untie some knots in my head, which were hindering my ability to make progress with my literary novel, by adding clarity, focus and purpose to the project. She read a solid sample of my work, had structured feedback and worked very hard to ascertain not only the writing itself, but who was doing the writing and why. I would highly recommend her coaching services to any writer looking to improve their work.”
