    I work with Ms. V for only one reason - trust. If Ms. V has a criticism, (and that is why one works with an editor) that criticism is substantiated and explained. I don't always agree ( I am the writer) however, Ms. V's perspective is one I (and you) should seek out because more often than not her perspective enhances your voice. Thanks again G.

    With a delft touch, the breath of her education and experience, and with a writer’s heart, the edits of Ms. Voss shine upon your work with a clarifying brilliance. I leave off in awe and appreciation, telling all that will listen: do not let this chance slip through your fingers.
