Testimonials
I was feeling really stuck with my story structure, and Swati helped me walk through my outline step by step to figure things out. While doing that, we also brainstormed 4 different story angles from the same pitch, which was great. The 1:1 session really helped me get clarity on both the direction of my reporting and how to shape the story. She is an incredible editorial support for those of us freelancers figuring things out on our own.
I felt very safe opening up to Swati and showing her my vulnerable side. She was a great listener, very empathetic and non-judgmental. I look forward to more sessions with her.
