"I had been working on my novel for years, pouring my heart into every word, but when it came to finding an agent, I felt overwhelmed. After my initial query to DraftDirect Partners, I had a conversation with Michael R. Sutherland that completely changed my perspective. He took the time to listen to my story and understand my vision. His feedback was not only constructive but also encouraging. When he offered representation, I felt like I had found a true partner in my writing journey. Michael helped me navigate the intricate world of publishing, and his insights were invaluable. My novel, which I thought would never see the light of day, was picked up by a major publisher within months. I couldn't be more grateful for the support and belief DraftDirect Partners showed in my work."
