Before I began coaching sessions with Lisa, I had published a few things but wanted to make my writing as good as it could be. Lisa is knowledgeable and patient. She will give you as much help as you can handle, but no more. Since taking the coaching lessons, I\u2019ve learned too many things to list here and am happily anticipating more.<\/p> \"\"<\/a>

Working with Lisa really helped my deepen my understanding of the many aspects of creating a piece of writing. I experienced her as an insightful teacher and guide and valued the honesty of her approach. I was also awed by her thoroughness. I would recommend her without hesitation to someone seeking an editor.<\/p> \"\"<\/a>

Lisa provided thoughtful, specific, and helpful critical feedback on my writing. She has the ability to see directly to the heart of the work and provide suggestions that invariably lead to making for a better story. Her feedback on my manuscript was insightful and efficient; I accepted all of her recommendations and believe I have much better book than I would have had without her input. Every author needs an editor, and every editor should be a Lisa!<\/p> \"\"<\/a>
