“As I embarked on fulfilling my dream of writing a book, I learned two very important things: just because you believe you have a fantastic idea for a book doesn’t mean someone else hasn’t done it a million times over and also, we are not always the best critics of our own writing. That’s where an editor comes in. You need someone to open your eyes to seeing the “bigger story” and not the one you may think you should tell. That’s a talent that only seasoned editors have and Marcela Landres is just that.” —Janet Bonilla, author of “Camilla’s Grace”
