Many an author has praised his or her editor as truly the best, the most accomplished, and the most brilliant. But the honest-to-God truth is that it would be insulting to attempt a description of my editor, Julia Roller, with any such adjectives. Her abilities and skills far transcend the praise that these mere descriptions… Read more “Noel Branham”

Above all, to Julia Roller, an exceptionally fine editor and ‘coach’, who helped me in many ways; whatever the quality of this novel, it is much better than it would have been without her.

Julia’s edit of my upcoming book gave me a confidence in it that I hadn’t had before. Her attention to detail, creative suggestions and almost omniscient grasp of the material not only made the book better, it also made me a better writer. A terrific and talented professional.

Julia Roller took my manuscript and with sensitive and thoughtful editorial skill elevated it to a much higher level. Her organizational insights are remarkable! By rearranging chapters the book became a much more coherent narrative. Writing is hard work, but Julia’s professionalism and encouragement gave me confidence that my efforts were not in vain.
