What people say about me
I highly recommend Sarah Steinberg for comic editing and creative feedback. She’s been incredibly helpful in reviewing my kid’s comics, offering thoughtful, constructive notes that strengthen the story without losing its personality or charm. Their feedback on story structure, script pacing, dialogue, and artwork has consistently been insightful, practical, and encouraging. They have a great eye for what works visually and narratively, and they communicate suggestions in a way that’s collaborative and motivating. If you’re looking for someone who understands both storytelling and comics as a visual medium, she’s fantastic to work with. -Bert, comics and graphic novels
Sarah Steinberg is one of the few people that I fully trust with my work. Over the years that I’ve worked with Sarah I have found that she’s thorough and thoughtful in all her feedback of my art and writing. While Sarah always gives honest feedback she always edits in a way that doesn’t change the intent of my work. I’m very thankful I have Sarah there to help me become a better creator. -Dani, picture books, comics, and middle grade
Sarah has a deep understanding of picture books and kidlit conventions. She doesn’t dictate or decide, but uses her skills as both a writer and an illustrator to help uncover the gems in my work, and polish them until they shine. Sarah’s critiques were instrumental in helping me win spots in the PBParty showcase two years in a row, and also helped me polish my work before I finally signed with my dream agent. Sarah is skilled: she critiques with a kindness that allows me to walk away feeling empowered—never disheartened. -Emily, picture books and graphic novels
I was working on a script that had seen so many rounds of critique that I lost my overall sense of the script and was too close to it to tell if it was working or not. Sarah did a “cold-read” on it for me and her insights really helped me cut through the noise and see the pathway to the final polished work. -Sarah, graphic novels
