"I admit I was skeptical. My interaction with Frank is probably the best, most efficient process I've experienced to date. We went line by line pulling out the gold and digging deeper into each scene to mine the treasures left in my brain but not yet on the page. [This] planted many more seeds to pay off in Acts 2 and 3. I now have a clear path on how to move forward with confidence. The fact that he is kind about it just makes the whole experience pleasant and reassuring." - Pamela Weiss
