Testimonial
I have worked with Marianne for six books, and her insight into structure, tropes, and characterization is critical in helping me tell the best version of my stories. Her immense knowledge of the genre makes her particularly well positioned to provide developmental edits to romance writers. I can't imagine writing a book without Marianne's thoughtful, sensitive, clear-sighted editorial guidance!
--Alexandra Vasti, USA Today bestselling author
