Anne Janzer is an artist! She did such a wonderful job on the developmental edit of my second book, The Corporate Introvert, that she was the logical choice to edit my latest book, The Essential Guide for Families with Down Syndrome. 

Anne spent the time to listen to my vision and voice and provided such thoughtful comments and recommendations that pulled all my thoughts into a cohesive and compelling book. I highly recommend Anne for your next developmental editing needs.

Anne was a steady, reliable mentor throughout my entire writing process. I can’t imagine having done it so quickly, so well, and so painlessly without her help. Her excellent writing and editing guidance kept me on track and helped me to find the best way to develop the book. In addition, her invaluable experience led me directly to an excellent cover artist and copy editor, not to mention help in navigating the complex Amazon publishing process. If you want to make your book the best it can be, hire Anne!

Writing a book on Medicare felt daunting until Anne Janzer stepped in to coach me. With her unwavering support and practical strategies, I’ve created a book that I’m proud has helped countless people.

We worked together on a tight deadline. Anne kept me focused and on track to meet the ambitious timeline. Her experience and encouragement made all the difference.

I hired Anne to review my book proposal — and Wow, was I grateful to have found her! She gave clear, unflinching feedback (the most valuable kind) with a sound understanding of industry standards. Her package of edits-plus-consultation was far more helpful than I even hoped. She is thoroughly professional, while also being warm and encouraging for my career as a writer. Highly Recommend!

Anne Janzer is a phenomenal writing coach. Working with her to complete my first book was an amazing experience, as she coached me through every step of the process, from formalizing my book idea to creating an outline, then rough draft, all the way through to the final, polished manuscript and beyond.  As a first-time author, Anne also guided me through the process of publishing, including connecting me to key resources, support, and everything else I needed to make my book successful. To top it all off, Anne is just a wonderful person whom I genuinely enjoyed working with, as well as a respected industry expert and truly gifted writer and author herself.

Anne offered sage, grounded advice on how to make serious subjects un-dull. I appreciate how much substantial, interesting material she covered in a limited time. She’s personable, professional, and a joy to be with. Don’t miss an opportunity to see her in action.
