"First say to yourself what
you would be; and then do
what you have to do."
-Epictetus
“I just signed a contract with a publisher for my book, “Rusty Spoon, an artist’s memoir.” (Plain View Press, 2010) This happy occasion may not have been possible had I not sought your help in reshaping my manuscript into a professional work. Thank you so much for talent, effort and patience in working with me.“
