Word Of Mouth
Don't take my word for it—take theirs.
Was pleasantly surprised he'd actually read my stuff before the session. Like properly read it, not just skimmed. Jumped straight into what I needed to change, no time wasted on intro stuff. Feedback was pretty blunt in places which wasn't fun but I'd rather know now than after I've submitted. Still got loads done.
