What do writers think of
BlueCat’s feedback?
“I wanted to take a moment to tell you that these notes make me feel more ‘seen’ than I have ever felt before.”
– Jasmine A.
“I just wanted to say thank you so much for this wonderful feedback. It definitely empowers me to keep working on this project and strengthen the pacing while also keeping what works.”
– Amber S.
“A lot of shady competitions out there where using AI would actually be a step up, where I’m convinced they don’t read unless you buy the feedback. BlueCat has always been fair to me, with insightful feedback.”
–Luke W.
“I know this feedback was a long time ago, but I just wanted to reach out and mention how much it inspired me to keep going with this script. If the reader who gave me feedback years ago is still around, give them my thanks.”
– Jonathan B.
