“In Plane Sight started as a rambling journal to my grandchildren, condensed slightly into more of a book, and presented to Arlyn Lawrence of Inspira Literary Solutions. Arlyn was so gentle and kind as she explained important little things, like a chapter should be closer to four thousand words than ten thousand! She and her accomplished associate, Heather Sipes, did an awesome job of eliminating all the boring detail and sharpening the story to make my ramblings actually readable and interesting. Thank you, Arlyn and Heather, for all the work you did behind the scenes to make me look good.”

“This book would never have happened without the exceptionally professional guidance of Arlyn Lawrence, owner of Inspira, my book editor and producer. She knows the flow and structure of books like I know engines. She did the seasoning of my words to give them impact and meaning. I wasn’t a writer (although I guess you’d have to say I am once this book is published!), and I was committed to putting out a high-quality manuscript—and Arlyn has made that happen.”

“Arlyn Lawrence, my publishing coach and editor, who read the original manuscript and had the courage to speak the last ten percent to me when she said, ‘If we can get the chip off your shoulder, it would be a good book.’ Then she stuck with me, helped knock the chip off, and helped turn an amature into a pro. Arlyn and her team at Inspira are real pros.”
