Author Testimonials
"Tod has been a wonder to work with. I was a little worried about how my manuscript would read and the work required to fix it, but he made the experience painless. He was honest, pointed out my weak points and the areas that needed rewrites, but his enthusiasm and encouragement made all the difference. I was kept involved in the process through updates, and he was always quick to answer any questions I had. I look forward to working with him again in the future. I couldn’t be happier with how my manuscript turned out under his guidance."
- D. M. Dore
