Skills, training, and especially compassion

I am in the process of publishing my first book, The Lucien Saga. Bonnie not only edited my story, she also patiently and graciously helped me learn the technologies we used, such as tracking changes. She made what was a very intimidating situation for me, into a partnership to improve my work. I started reading her blog and learned techniques and aspects of writing that I could immediately use. Whether a first book or tenth, I believe Bonnie has the skills, training, and especially the compassion to help writers develop their work.
