Victoria was very helpful in the development of our third draft. She took the time to thoroughly read through the material and understand the nuances of the story, while also keeping an objective perspective on story structure. Her deep knowledge of story structure was evident in her analysis. Our virtual session was well organized by her and we went through all of the major beats of the story and she addressed key areas that would need to be improved on. She was also very mindful to make sure not to insert her own ideas or influence the story without our permission to do so. That being said, she had some very clear ideas that she offered and that helped us think more critically about certain characters and situations in a way that we haven’t before. We’re very much looking forward to working with her again.
