Ian was able to read deeper into the work than I had on many occasions. His practical and inspirational guidance is invaluable.

Handle With Care
I’ve worked with Ian twice now. One thing he does that others may not is provide a reaction as he is reading. I love that. It really helps me understand when a part is working and generating my intended reaction.
Ian also did something phenomenal for me which was to push me and encourage me to grow as an author.
I have a new manuscript in the works now and Ian is the first person I have in mind for a beta read!
