When I was in need of someone to read through a manuscript for a book, I knew I wanted to hire Donaleen. She is focused, supportive, expansive and practical. The feedback she gave me regarding the manuscript in the state it was encouraged me to work with the strengths of what I had written, of which she saw many. Donaleen also drew attention to places in my text that needed more detail, less detail, and to look for consistency in tone. I’m now near the point where I am hopeful that I have found a publisher, [which] would not have been possible without Donaleen.
