"I found Janice's feedback and guidance to be invaluable. Her comments were thorough and targeted the weak spots in my manuscript. I highly recommend this workshop."

"The first response was extremely helpful ... .I have made the suggested changes and the story flows much more smoothly."

"The workshop was a huge help."

"If you want your book or other document to be your best effort I highly recommend that you hire Janice as your editor. Her intelligence and keen eye for order and detail will spot the flaws in your presentation, and where you need to expand. She will surprise you with what she comes up with, insight that is characteristic of an original mind. Her knowledge of what agents and editors look for is also helpful, since today’s writer must be practical as well as creative in order to compete in the world of publishing."
-- Nancy Anderson, author of Work With Passion, a bestselling, nonfiction book. Please visit her website: www.workwithpassion.com.

The Document Driven Beginnings Workshop gave me the well focused comments I’ve needed to define and prioritize tasks for the final revision of my manuscript. Just when I could no longer see my own work, Janice Hussein identified strengths and weaknesses in my plot and characterization. The online format made it possible for me to work with a consulting editor a continent away and get more valuable input that I’ve been able to find in other in-person workshops. I’ll be back for more of her editing services when I complete my revisions. --Ann Hagemann
