“Heather guided me through the entire publishing process from start to finish.
One of Heather’s strengths is her ability to quickly identify the strengths and weaknesses of a manuscript. She gave me valuable feedback on my story, helping me to improve the plot, characters, and dialogue. Heather also helped me to craft a strong synopsis and book proposal, which hopefully get my book noticed by publishers.
I am so grateful for Heather’s help, she is a true professional, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to write a children's book.”

“Heather Hartt-Sussman is a super coach: she is generous and kind yet will always be honest about your writing and what needs to be done.
After publishing more than seven picture books and more on the way, Heather knows both the business of publishing AND the art of crafting a well-edited, well-formatted and meaningful manuscript. What I like the most about Heather’s coaching and teaching is that she has the ability to hone in on your style and your goals resulting in a product you are proud to submit.”
