STORIES FROM AUTHORS

Publishing is more than producing a book.

For many writers, the journey begins with an unfinished manuscript, an idea that needs direction, or uncertainty about what comes next.

These are the experiences of authors who worked with Pat through different stages of that journey — from developing their writing to seeing their books published.

I met Pat a few years ago and he agreed to review my manuscript, which was little more than a skeleton at that time. Pat saw potential in my writing skill, gained my respect to persevere throughout the process, provided a conducive learning environment, and remained dedicated, calm and supportive during times of doubt.

Pat has many years of experience and insight as a writer and publisher, and patiently provided constructive criticism throughout the editing process to ensure the final product was of high quality.

Throughout the process Pat became a good friend and trusted mentor, who I am happy and privileged to recommend to budding and established authors.
