“David worked with me to hone my thoughts and establish a through-line with my writing. His coaching enabled me to reach my goal of a solid first-draft manuscript.”

“I was a previously published author of non-fiction, and David eased me into the world of fiction. It was important that I work with people who are friendly and knowledgeable. David is both. His feedback and support are both critical and balanced. As I wrote my collection of short stories, David helped me tease out the best stylistic elements (symbolism, tone, and motifs) and extrapolated them across the text. I highly recommend him, and look forward to working with him again on my next project!”

“I had my share of trepidation going into the editing process, but upon reading the first words of the first comments from David I knew that my project had found the right hands and eyes and heart and mind. David has an uncanny ability to highlight the strongest threads of a work, and to help the writer simplify—and in the process strengthen—the work. He pairs a beautiful eye for particular phrasing with a wide-angled view on the structure and workings of the whole. Working with him was a joy, and I know that with his help the writing came closer to its full potential.”
