"After a lot of research in the market, I decided to mail Sandy my novel to proof and critique. What she sent back two weeks later stunned me. Not only had she ferreted out numerous pesky errors that my diligent friends had missed, but she also provided a wealth of insightful commentary. This may be a talent other editors possess, but the positive and sensitive way in which Sandy did this work makes her a stand-out in a very competitive field. I can think of no better name for her business than Inspiration for Writers."

"I believe that I will be published, and it will happen as a direct result of Sandy's handholding and gentle admonishments to rewrite that line with a stronger emphasis, or to move that exposition to a more strategic paragraph."
