“My book would not have been written without Janet. She was my bedrock foundation of strength and encouragement. Her editing and labors were crucial in creating the book I wanted to write. She was invaluable to this project and in the process, I found a close friend. I already recommend Janet to every writer I know and plan on working with her for the remainder of my career.”
-Todd Kashdan, associate professor George Mason University, author of Curious? Discovering the Missing Ingredient to a Fulfilling Life
“As I continue to write and deepen my vision for my memoir-in-progress, Janet and her suggestions seem to occupy a room in my brain–one where the door is always open, a room I return to again and again…I feel movement, and a sense that I’ve discovered the guiding question at the heart of his project. Finally, I know. Thanks to Janet, I worked hard to find out.
