    It was a tremendous pleasure working with Don Macnab-Stark as editor of my novel. Don offered valuable insights in narrative, dialogue, story line, and continuity. In addition, I was very pleased that Don handily adopted my idiosyncratic writing style and was willing to "bend" strict literary guidelines in the service of a consistent tone and voice. Don always kept me apprised of his schedule and progress during our month-long project, and never missed a deadline. He communicated frequently with me on questions, or to crystallize our goals and objectives. Don is extremely professional, talented, enthusiastic, and makes his client's projects his projects. I hope to be able to work with Don again on other projects, as I am confident I can continue to rely on his advice and collaboration.

    Don provided me with exactly what I was looking for in regard to the type of feedback I needed to improve upon my script. He is very professional, and highly skilled in script writing. I will be calling on Don in the future to assist me with my rewrite and future scripts. Thanks Don!
