“Dreena gave a thorough manuscript critique of my short story collection. Her feedback began with an overview broken into sections, each focussed on a particular aspect of my writing. She followed this with comments on individual stories giving examples to illustrate her points. She concluded with bullet points of where improvements could be made and a suggested reading list.


It is clear to me that Dreena knows what she is talking about, has effective communication skills and is able to provide relevant feedback in a timely manner.”
