"Do agents ever get blurbs? They should and here's mine for Erin: I hired her for a consult this past spring on how to break up w/ my agent and secure a new, more active one. Not only did her advice get me my number one choice, that new agent just sold my memoir at auction to Knopf! Erin, you are a literary spark plug extraordinaire!"

"If it weren't for Christina, I simply would not have sold my book proposal. Of course, I knew the material and what needed to be said -- but Christina understood how to shape it so publishers would buy it. She was such a good partner, in fact, I hired her to edit the actual book as well. And I'd do it again. Working with her was an absolute pleasure."
—Allison Gilbert, author of Always Too Soon: Voices of Support for Those Who Have Lost Both Parents and the forthcoming Parentless Parents (Hyperion)
