I'm editing your revised chapters. I couldn't put down the pages--so engaging. Keep up the great rewrites. You've transformed exposition into scenes! A little sensory detail goes a long way. It feels like I'm in the office, watching Rob, Kim, Stanlee, smelling the burnt coffee, hearing phones ringing, feeling the tension between coworkers, and getting bits of info (not paragraphs) through snappy dialogue and Rob's internal monologue that keeps me intrigued. Bravo!!! I'll have editorial notes for your first 25 pages by Friday morning. 2 weeks ago I witnessed a client getting the first-place award in a writing contest. Now I'm reading your novel rewritten with authentic voice, the right pace, and humor too--you made my week! Cheers from Manuscript Consultant/Writing Career Coach Teresa LeYung Ryan Don,

Teresa is so committed to her clients and does a remarkable job of coaching and encouraging while wielding an insightful red pen. Tom Wolfe spoke last week in Charlotte for the public library there and I briefly interviewed him afterwards for The Writer magazine ....He said the basis for his writing continually came back to great reporting and that the key for any writer is getting out of the building and observing people - particularly being on the scene when something happens. Thanks Teresa, for pushing my reporting skills. Don I was an attendee at the CWC-BB and have been working since then with Teresa on my novel, The Sacred Heart.

You had begun building your name by showing up every month at Suzanne Corson's bookstore (that's where I first saw you and your name). You continued building your name and gaining recognition by submitting your work to contests; there are people helping writers (including contest judges who read our words) and they don't broadcast who they are. To have your name connected to a writing contest speaks loudly. To have been chosen as an AmazonEncore Author (imagine the competition) WOW! Your work did speak for itself. To further build your name, make “Francine Thomas Howard” synonymous with the “subject matters & themes” in your beautiful novel Page From a Tennessee Journal. I cheer for you!

I am the author of the historical, multicultural novel, Page From a Tennessee Journal (published by AmazonEncore), a book that never would have been published except for the unfailing encouragement of Teresa. In early 2003, Ms. Ryan took the time to mentor a group of aspiring writers (at that time I didn't even know I was aspiring). Through her tutoring I gathered enough courage to enter PAGE into a number of contests--it became a finalist in the 2003 Rupert Hughes Prose Writing Contest (sponsered by the Maui Writers Conference). And in 2009, I hit the publishing jackpot with AmazonEncore. Thank you Teresa!
