You couldn't ask for a better coach.~ Dinty W. Moore, author of The Mindful Writer On Allison as editor: I could not be more happy with the precision and quality of your insight. You have been really comprehensive and the information is organized in a great way. I see myself making 80-90% of these adjustments. Emily Stowe, USA I really can't say enough how smoothly [the author's] stories read after they've passed through Allison's hands. I know many of them well, have read the majority previously, and I am struck by changes that I can't really pinpoint, but that are clearly evident. Reader of Martin Ewen's Panto-Damascus: One Clown's Alphabet To my editor, thank you, thank you, thank you. There are editors and then there is Allison Williams, The Unkind Editor. Your insight and expertise not only made my book stronger, but also made me a better writer. I look forward to having your attentive eye on all of my future works. A. K. Mills, USA Each and every note is spot on and absolutely necessary. I am amazed by the detail in your critique--so thoughtful and insightful. Pamela Peterson, USA Allison isn't (just) the type of editor you want--she's the type of editor you need. She cares about what's important in this process: pushing your work to perfection. And she will, with a smile on her face and red pens on hand. A. R. Kahler, USA |
