“His tireless enthusiasm, expertise, and delight in the writing life – his current project and yours – is an important source of support for my writing.

Freelance writing is tough work; I couldn’t imagine doing it without a resource his caliber.”
Lynn Kamm, Writer/editor Rolling Hills Estates

“The first person I call when I have questions about the business of writing. I don’t think I’ve ever had to call a second.”
