“Dori covered every beat of my manuscript with heart
and brain, sensitive to what I was trying to express. I’m grateful to her
for improving my narrative structure, encouraging a rhythmic flow to my
sentences, helping me write more dynamic chapter openings and giving my
story more depth. How many editors become personally involved? I was
blessed to have found her.”

one-on-one advice is candid, encouraging and very constructive. Her
comments offered me the necessary direction to begin a comprehensive
edit.”
