Testimonial:
"Lori has a way of getting to the heart of the story, the exact thing that might be missing or that a story needs, and telling you what that is. She is able to see the big picture. She is supportive and professional and driven. I am certain my own first MG novel would not have made it without her help and loving suggestions to make it better."

-Kathryn Fitzmaurice, author of The Years the Swallows Came Early and
Diamond in the Desert
