“Nice guy. More importantly, smart guy. Very experienced guy. Jim knows what the kids want, and what the publishers want. He knows what the “push-back” points will be. Most authors I know are sensitive to criticism. I’m in the ‘hot-house flower’ segment of the sensitive category, and, thankfully, Jim is a tender gardener. His suggestions are always well-considered, to the point, and balanced with much-needed compliments. He gave me excellent advice regarding every aspect of the rewrite—plot construction, character development, pacing and ‘information scaffolding’ (ask Jim to explain that for you). Long story short (he’s good at that, too), I felt like my work was in capable and caring hands with Jim.”
