Literary Consulting

I’ve had short stories accepted at Cream City Review, Gargoyle, Cortland Review, and Serving House Literary Journal. Because of your instruction on how to better submit, most of these stories were accepted by one of the first places I targeted.  --Robert Kerbeck

I met Amy Holman several years ago at the Bread Loaf Writers Conference, and liked her spirit. We talked and soon I knew she knew some things I needed to know about putting a poetry manuscript together and recognizing when I was writing my strongest work. She helped organize some of my poems into a manuscript. More important, I learned by her example and her thinking how to see more deeply into various undercurrents of my poems. Her suggestions...became the basis of a book of poems that is being published. Her medicine is time-released."  --Lyman Grant, author of As Long as We Need
