"Melanie
Votaw is a talented writer and editor who helped me with the editing of one
of my books and was instrumental in the polishing of my manuscript. I
admire her work ethic and have already recommended her to a friend, who
has also been very happy with her work. I would not hesitate to
recommend Melanie again to anyone who needs writing or editing
assistance." -

"Writing
is not like a painting where you add. It is not what you put
on
the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture
where
you remove, you eliminate in order to make the work visible.
Even
those pages you remove somehow remain."
-
