Anne’s knowledge of the publishing industry was an amazing resource for me. She served as a touchstone from concept creation to proposal, to agent, to publisher, and to publication. Her feedback, guidance, encouragement and practical advice led me through the entire process, and took me from a person with a muddled idea to a published author. I could not have made the journey without her.

People talk a lot about the integrity of their art and all that, but I have always believed that I owe my art, and my readers, to good editing, a second opinion if you will. Anne has played an important role in my work, helping me polish the proposal for my first book, and structure the second. I have recommended her to serious writers, and will continue to engage her services for future projects.”
–Paul Molyneaux, author of Swimming in Circles, Aquaculture and the End of Wild Oceans (Basic Books)
Anne has been invaluable in helping me with three separate novel writing projects. Whether it’s concept shaping, line editing, or navigating the publishing labyrinth, she is creative, perceptive, professional, and always supportive.
– Tony Junker, author of Tunnelle’s Boys (iUniverse)
Anne has helped shape the language of contracts for three of my books and I couldn’t be more satisfied with her expertise and professionalism. She knows the literary world and has the business savvy to help authors get fair compensation for their work. She also gives great advice on how to negotiate some of the finer points of the contract. With her exhaustive knowledge of the field, I know that I always have an advocate when it comes to the business side of publishing. Consultations with Anne have proven to be an indispensible guide in my writing career.

Anne Dubuisson Anderson is one of the best freelance consultants, book critics and editors in publishing.
–Grace Chang, author of JIN JIN THE DRAGON, (Enchanted Lion Books)
Anne Dubuisson Anderson understands writing, publishing and people. And she is very generous with her expertise: she has helped me enormously with conceptualizing, with editing, with marketing, with negotiating and with persisting.
–Nancy Bunge, author of Master Class: Lessons from Leading Writers (University of Iowa Press).
My career would simply not exist if it weren’t for Anne Dubuisson Anderson. When I was at a particularly problematic turning point, Anne spent hours talking to me, assessing my strengths as a writer and needs as a person. Then, drawing upon her deep knowledge of the industry and her excellent marketing insights - and employing her innate warmth and encouragement - she recommended a course of action which I followed to the letter. The result was the memoir Riding The Bus With My Sister, which became a bestseller and a movie. I tell every serious writer I know to seek her services, and everyone who has listened to me - even those who have yet to sell their books - has been immensely glad that they did.
