I wrote a book and didn't have a publishing plan. While I like to think I have the soul of an artist, my background is medical, so I came to Anne seeking guidance on this literary path. Not only did her editorial input help me refine my work, but her sage guidance on the steps to publishing were critical in securing my book deal. Years later, I still consider her not only my literary whisperer, but also my friend. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation.
