What some of my readers & clients are saying.

Let someone else praise you, not your own words. . .

Regarding the 2012 Maranatha Christian Writers Conference: “It was loving, thoughtful . . . a tremendous experience . . . intelligent and accessible . . . a change point in my life.” Tony from West Yorkshire, England.

Timothy, I enjoyed reading some of your writing. I Agreed with what I read. Sounds a lot like hearing myself, as it is what I live.

Thank you for hosting the manuscript critique group on Thursday night.  The format was very helpful, and I appreciated hearing someone else read my manuscript . . .  I listen for speed bumps.  I never heard the preachy voice – ouch!  I am so grateful the Lord led me to have that chapter evaluated.

Thanks Timothy Burns for the nudge yesterday. I have written 5000 plus words in the last 2 days and feel back on track with my next book.
