Laura Collins coached me through the long process of writing my first novel with patience, humor, and finely-tuned editing skills. Generous with both praise and constructive criticism, she helped me blaze a trail through the forest of my unfocused ideas. I only hope she’ll be willing to guide me through the next book as well.

Asking Laura Collins to consult with us on one of our grants was the wisest act I have taken. She helped us clarify our goals, understand the intentions of the granting agency, and write a compelling case; all of which resulted in our receiving the full funding. My only regret is the grants we submitted before I knew about her.
