Testimonials for Larry Habegger

“Having a brilliant editor will make a good writer great and a great writer exceptional. As a first-time author, I sought an editor that would not only help me take my writing to the next level, but also one with industry-wide recognition. After researching the genre I knew that Larry Habegger was uniquely qualified for my project.

“When Larry completed the edits of the first draft of my manuscript, his assessment was honest, accurate and insightful. Although that assessment was occasionally something I didn’t want to hear, it was always what I needed.  With Larry’s professionalism, I was able to quickly turn a rough draft into a polished manuscript that was able to successfully compete in the crowded publishing market. I am confident in stating that without Larry’s editorial guidance, I would not have been able to realize what every first-time author is seeking–getting published.”

“I’ve known Larry for years as a master editor through the Travelers’ Tales series, so he seemed an obvious choice to read through my book manuscript, Learning to Breathe. I was impressed with his attention to story and detail in the editing process. With his spit and polish he made my book shine in a better light.”

“I have found Larry Habegger to be a gifted editor. He supports and encourages me as a writer, but he is also a task master on grammar, punctuation and good sentence construction. No sloppy writing is allowed. Perhaps the best part of working with Larry is that he always urges me to go deeper to discover the essence, truth and universality of the story I am trying to tell. My stories have greater power because of working with him.”
