| "I sent my manuscript to Donna Fleisher, not knowing what to expect but hoping it would help. The feedback I received on paper and tape was priceless—worth every penny and then some. Her expert criticism, sandwiched with a healthy dose of encouragement, made a huge difference not only in that manuscript, but in the whole way I write." Jenness Walker, Hobe Sound, Florida "Donna Fleisher is a terrific editor. She understands writers and will love your story almost as much as you do, which is to say she will take the time to help you see it for what it is. She will show you its flaws as well as its strengths and give you concrete suggestions for improvement. Donna is a warm human being, a talented and honest critic, and a genuine delight to work with. Highly recommended." Daniel Schwabauer "I just finished my second listen to your tapes. You are right, there was no better way to convey the information you needed me to have. You went above and beyond the call of duty. You gave me something that may have taken me years to get elsewhere, if ever. . . . I am halfway through Self-Editing for Fiction Writers. What a wake up call. I had so many misconceptions about writing, and the business of writing. . . . What a miracle in itself I found you. The fact that you have a military background and could help with those aspects of the story is literally amazing. I never had the honor of serving our country in the military. My area of expertise is the martial arts, the same described in the story. . . . You have given me much to think about. At first I was overwhelmed. Now, I am excited. At least I have something to go by. A manuscript, even though raw, is something tangible. I have something to work with." C. A., Mississippi |
| "Donna Fleisher delivers exactly what she promises. Her passion for her work is unmistakable and reassuring. I have no doubt that she truly cares about my story and my mission to transform it into a novel. The cassette tapes are wonderful—not only a recorded critique, but a writing class as well. I've read a couple of books on self-editing, but didn't truly understand them in application until now. Not only did she give me an honest assessment of my strengths and weaknesses, but probably saved me a lot of future embarrassment as well. I look forward to working with her on future projects."

| Exodus 35:30-36:3 And Moses said to the children of Israel, "See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work gold and silver and bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship. And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. He has filled them with skill to do all manner of work of the engraver and the designer and the tapestry maker, in blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen, and of the weaver—those who do every work and those who design artistic works. And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whom the LORD has put wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, shall do according to all that the LORD has commanded." Then Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, everyone whose heart was stirred, to come and do the work. |
| "I want to tell you how helpful I think you will be to me. I did read the Browne/King editing book and had already taken out the 'tom swifties' —he said happily. But I didn't really grasp the POV issue until your tapes. Your service is like getting a college course from an excellent teacher for a lot less time and money, and not only that, but you personalize your teaching to fit my needs and weaknesses. I would recommend your service to anyone who is serious about sharpening his Christian-fiction-writing craft." Craig Harris, Palestine, Texas |
