Even though mine wasn't selected but I'm truly happy for those who were. Thank you for this opportunity, looking forward for more in the future. Sending lots of love from Afghanistan ❤️

Wonderful! I've been pining for a 'first paragraph review' from you guys. Looking forward to that.

Thank you so much for this video. It is extremely helpful to have professionals like John sharing his expertise. I was wondering if you could do the same kind of video but where the agent has already reviewed the queries and can offer a revised version so we can compare them. This would streamline the video, shorten it, and offer concise feedback. :-)

What is the reason for using the first and last name? Is this so as not to presuppose gender identity, i.e., Mr. or Ms?

[@radioaydin5875]

"comping"? How much valuable time are we really saving by cutting "-ar" out of "comparing"?

I tried unsuccessfully to find Becca Hayman on Twitter, can you share her link?
