My 1:1 session was incredibly helpful. Hailey thoroughly went through my story and edited. She helped me decide between verses to best portray the plot / message I was intending. Hailey guided me through mapping out the page layout, and ideating on illustration choices. Overall I left the session confident in my story and excited to publish. To anyone who is considering working with her - do it!!!
