Focus and Fly with Robin Get-Ready
“One hour with Maria helped me crystallize an idea for a novel I had brewing in my head for years. Before our initial meeting, I sent her a few notes and pages of a story I had stopped and started writing many times. She came to our meeting prepared and ready with questions, and in the course of our conversation I could practically feel the sparks flying in my brain.”

“Maria is well suited to be a developmental editor, not only because she is a fellow writer/author who intimately understands the journey, but because she has the heart of a teacher.”
