Praise

As a first-time author, I came into our professional relationship with a lot of insecurities about my abilities. Nancy’s background in counseling certainly came in handy! I asked her to be tough on my work – and I was very pleased when it came back full of “red marks.” She delivered her critique with a lot of encouragement and with a wonderfully dry sense of humor. Oh, I have absolutely loved working with Nancy.

— Lisa Weldon, author of “Twenty Pieces, a memoir: a 30-day walk through my past and into my future”
