Patricia Mulcahy is no ordinary editor. She is a mentor in the true sense of the word and educated me beyond the margins of my first book, as I struggled to bring an unwieldy first draft to final draft status. With her guidance I quickly learned what mattered in my narrative and what had to go. She also taught me how to leverage my story to create a more effective opening. Patricia’s wealth of experience is delivered with humor and a kind touch. I recommend her without reservation.
