“Orwell was correct when describing what it was like to write a book: It is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. Fortunately, I’ve been abundantly blessed with good health in my ongoing struggle composing A Man of Color because of regular visits from the accomplished book surgeon Mari Ann Stefanelli.”
~Jedwin Smith, author of Our Brother’s Keeper and Fatal Treasure
"When an editor works on deep geeky technical material, you never know the outcome. Fortunately for me, as I wrote blogs recounting customer success with Oracle’s Fusion Middleware AP solution, I had Mari Ann. She made my work so easy. We developed a format and I wrote to that. Then she reviewed my blog and helped make it “accessible” for “real people.” It was a great experience. Thanks to Mari Ann my blog was picked up and published by Oracle. Mari Ann is easy to work with, and I had a great result. I couldn’t ask for more.”
~ Jane Shirley, Oracle WebCenter Blogger
“Mari Ann’s expertise is beyond the words she reads. She sees where they came from before they landed on the page. In the beginning, I struggled with structure. At Mari Ann’s suggestion, I tried writing my chapters epistolary style. It was truly the turning point in my writing. I also adapted a vision she had for the prologue and epilogue. Her coaching and encouragement were a constant inspiration and instrumental in the completion of my memoir.”
~ Susan Clotfelter Jimison, author of Dear Mark and Through the Eyes of a Tiger: The John Donovan Story
“Mari Ann goes to the current beneath the words, understanding intentions and innuendo. She discovers both the inspirational and the problematic that others often miss. And best of all, she energizes me to persevere when self-doubt threatens to halt my desire to tell my story.”
~ Carolyn Martin Graham, writer, health consultant, and chronic Lyme Disease conqueror
"Mari Ann didn't offer me a quick, generic "fix" for my law school essay. Rather, she asked me personally tailored questions designed to uncover the essence of what I wanted to say and help me convey those thoughts on paper. Under Mari Ann's guidance, I was able to express my beliefs in a well-structured, honest narrative that highlighted my personality and showcased my writing strengths."
