For years, I searched and searched and searched to find an editor that would be able to help me achieve my goal to become a great writer!
In fact, the seach lasted ten long, long years!
I remember reading how F. Scott Fitzgerald found a fantastic editor (Maxwell Perkins) and it made the difference in his writing.
I was able to find someone who not only could edit, but made me a better writer.
An editor is a critical component in the development of a writer and I thank God everyday for sending me Dennis DeRose from Middletown, New York. Ghost of Atlanta ( National 2011 Gold Medal Winning novel) andPurple Phantoms are fantastic books because of my editor and firend...Dennis DeRose!
This is what I wrote about Dennis for a national website:
"Dennis DeRose is a fantastic and superb book editor! He takes your words and ideas and makes them better. I have been looking for ten long years to find a great editor and I found one: Dennis DeRose! When Dennis finishes editing a book, it is tighter, leaner and flows. Incredible!If you are a writer you must get Dennis DeRose before his client list is filled!!!!"
