Testimonials

“Thank you for all of your suggestions. It was money well spent.“

Allan D – Client

“Sam’s assessment was extensive – and excellent in every way. His comments made it obvious that he had read and digested every word in my book. He was detailed, citing many specific passages – some because they were worked well, but also some that didn’t. He was comprehensive in his analysis, enabling me to see the strengths and weaknesses of my manuscript. (…) What particularly struck me about Sam’s feedback was his kindness, how positive he was, even when he was criticizing some aspect of my writing or giving me bad news about the state of publishing. He could hardly have been more helpful. I’m sure you already know how fortunate you are to have someone like Sam offering editorial assessments, but I just wanted to say Thank You.“
