“Working with Jim on my middle grade novel was a truly rewarding experience. Jim is a patient, attentive, and kind editor. He was clear and honest about the strengths and weaknesses of my manuscript and offered specific suggestions for how to improve it. His feedback was full of wisdom and useful insights. He wouldn’t let me settle for ‘good enough’ but pushed me to take my book to the next level. Jim not only made my novel much stronger, he also gave me advice that has stayed with me and continues to serve me in my writing.”
