“I could not speak more highly of Jim. He’s operated at the upper echelons of a major house, edited bestsellers, and is—wholly and truly—a fan of quality stories who only wants to make them better. He’s not only a sharp, shrewd assessor of prose, characters, and story, he’s a positive, can-do person. A pro’s pro. Hire him. You will not find a better, more experienced and insightful editor. The fact that he’s even freelancing at all is your good fortune. He is undoubtedly the best editor I have worked with.”

—Henry Neff, The Tapestry series
