Testimonial:"I'm very glad VS Grenier had the time to look at my story. She provided very valuable insights and provoked me to think deeper about my approach. All in all, this story, and any I may write in the future, will be benefited by her expertise. I am pleased and challenged by her feedback and would suggest her critique service to anyone. She's not about boosting your ego. She's about helping you. And that she does well." -Dave Gregg
Testimonial:"Virginia has a keen eye for narrative flow. She caught some repetitive wordings that none of my other critiquers noticed. With her pointing them out, I was able to vary my phrasing, improving the pace and readability of the entire story." -Karina Fabian

“Having others read what you have written and giving feedback not only makes you a better writer, but you start to understand how a well written story’s voice captures the reader, drawing them into your world of ink,” states VS Grenier.
A California girl at heart, she currently lives in Utah with her husband, their two children, and the family’s big fat cat, Speed Bump. Grenier’s hobbies include: writing for children, reading, gardening, interior design, scrapbooking, camping, biking, and singing. She’s a big Harry Potter fan and has admitted to reading each book in the series seven times. She also loves “Lord of the Rings”, “The Hobbit” and the Fablehaven series. She continues to write books, articles, and short stories for children and teens, finding that it keeps her young. She still dresses up for Halloween and still believes in Santa Claus.
One thing that is very important to me is helping others. So how can I do that? By letting those who love to write for children know where to find the answers to questions or even where to begin.
