"As a beginning children's writer with many questions and concerns, Marya Jansen-Gruber was there to help. When I submit my manuscripts, they are returned quickly with valuable information about ways to improve the context, strengthen the characters and make the story run more smoothly. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful in many areas and has gone out of her way to assist. You will not be disappointed. It is like working with a friend and her suggestions and improvements are right on the money.” Patricia Brazzell, Nashville, TN
“The best criticism, I've found, is that which quickly zeroes in on a writer's weaknesses, yet is supportively positive. With her keen perception and sensitivity, combined with an understanding of what an author is trying to accomplish, I've found Marya Jensen-Gruber's feedback to be beyond excellent. Discovering avenues to explore in my work that I hadn't even seen, her critiques have quickly helped open the doors of agents and publishers” Dan Bessie, France
