Good is ordinary in a talented, competitive field, so his notes make you dig deep in order to write something special. He doesn’t sugarcoat the feedback to make you feel good. He pushes you to develop your story and your writing so that it has a chance of getting read rather than tossed on the reject pile after a few pages.”– Stan Himes
