"Kelly Macdonald is a true master of her craft. Not only does she provide feedback where writing can improve in a way that feels encouraging, but she also provides in depth analysis of the writing as a whole. I would highly recommend her to any and all writers of varying levels of experience." ~ Janeth Corral - Short story submission beta read - Febraury 2026
