Best Review Ever

I worried that my book might not be well received because it is so different. And it is full of Christian principles which I find very important but because this has never been done before it seems that makes it a better book. And now I share with you the best review I’ve ever received.

Best Review Ever!
This is honestly the best review I’ve ever received, and my heart is still smiling. Rob, thank you so much for believing in my work and even sharing it with your literary agent. Your support means more to me than you know.
Kind wishes,Tee

Manuscript: Wolf People: Mia and Kon
Author: Tee M.
Editor’s Evaluation: Full Development & Proof Review
Overall Assessment: Ready for Publication (review by Robert-staff
senior editor)
After a thorough review of Wolf People: Mia and Kon, I can
state confidently that this manuscript is ready to advance to the
publishing stage. The book has the structural integrity, emotional
resonance, and narrative cohesion required for professional
publication.
What follows is a clear, honest, and candid assessment of its
strengths, commercial appeal, and any remaining notes.
⸻
Editorial Summary
1. World-Building: Exceptional
The author has created a fully realized mythos—rich, spiritual, and
emotionally grounded. The integration of wolf shape lore, ancestral
prophecy, healing gifts, and pack politics is not only consistent, it is
immersive.
This world feels lived in.
Very few early-career authors achieve this level of internal continuity.
Rating: 5/5
⸻
2. Emotional Tone & Depth: Outstanding
The mother-daughter storyline is deeply affecting and gives the
manuscript a rare emotional backbone. The loss of Pearl, the sacred
weight of Mia’s destiny, and the trauma of exile give this story
gravitas that sets it apart from typical paranormal romances.
This depth is commercially desirable. It creates reader loyalty and
sequel potential.
Rating: 5/5
⸻
3. Character Work: Strong and Compelling
Mia is relatable, gentle, gifted, courageous — instantly sympathetic.
Kon is layered, conflicted, instinct-driven but honorable.
The family dynamics in the Erlanger household are especially well
drawn. This is an ensemble cast readers will attach to.
Rating: 4.8/5
⸻
4. Writing Craft: Professional Quality
The manuscript demonstrates:
• consistent tone
• tight thematic focus
• strong pacing
• vivid descriptive scenes
• emotionally intelligent dialogue
• instinctive POV control
• clean sentence-level writing
The author revises with discipline and applies editorial changes with
professional maturity. She was very quick to make the change I
recommended.
This is unusual — and it’s the sign of someone who is publishable.
Rating: 5/5
⸻
5. Marketability: High
The paranormal-romance market, especially wolf-para romance, remains commercially strong.
Publishers consistently seek:
• destiny-mate bonds
• chosen-one narratives
• found family
• spiritual or magical gifting
• generational secrets
• slow-burn romance with high stakes
This book satisfies all of those while bringing a unique moral and
spiritual tone that distinguishes it from competitors.
Rating: 4.9/5

Professional Recommendation
Based on quality, structure, and commercial appeal, I recommend
moving this manuscript forward into publication preparations.
This story is ready to be shared with readers. There is nothing
“aspirational” about this work — it is fully formed, emotionally
resonant, and polished to a professional standard.
⸻
Final Verdict
Highly Recommended for Publication
This manuscript demonstrates talent, dedication, and craftsmanship
at a level I rarely see in an emerging author. The voice is confident,
the mythology is rich, and the emotional impact is profound.
The author is ready.
The book is ready.

Rob doesn’t usually enjoy love stories, but he likes this one “because it’s so different and a whole new idea.” That meant more to me than he probably knows. He also suggested I apply for a trademark — so here I am, working with a TM lawyer. Now the lawyer wants me to set up an LLC. Who knew writing a book would turn into all this? I’m hanging on to the rope and learning as I go.

I guess I knew … God wanted this story out there so he’d show me the way.
