PJ is my go to person with my writing projects and brand building. I'm not only her client but I am her student too. As a novice writer, she is teaching me how to become a better writer. She gives me advice and takes the time to answer my questions. Since 2015, PJ has been helping me build my brand from the ground up. From the logo design to the layout of my website she is my second pair of eyes. PJ has a natural gift to help people bring concepts to life. When I began my journey as a writer, I asked my daughter to create the book cover for my debut memoire. When PJ saw the work she didn't brush my daughter's initial design to the wayside. PJ embraced my daughter's design and together they completed the book cover. Their final book cover is phenomenal. My daughter learned a great deal from PJ and continues to use that knowledge as a young artist. When there are roadblocks in my path PJ is patient. Her patience is what makes her good at her craft. She works with her clients so they are able to turn their dreams into goals which become a reality. read more

I needed help and Phyllis was the first person I called. My job was to build a high quality production group quickly so I called the best publishing person I knew. Phyllis not only came to help, she left her home and flew across the country to help. This is the type of dedicated professional and friend Phyllis is. The reason I thought of Phyllis was her range of skills and experience. She is an artist, a designer, a book production savant and really fun to work with. The first time I met Phyllis she had a can of SprayMount™ in one hand, a bunch of typeset copy in the other and was having a heated conversation with a designer. That picture is clear in my mind because it encapsulates Phyllis's skill, experience and passion for publishing. That passion and skill has carried over into the digital realm. Working with Phyllis at Ligature and IDG I saw how she embraced technology as a way to improve publishing. Phyllis learned how technology impacted the process from authoring to publication. This not only improved her skills, but she was able to teach others about technology and how it can improve publishing. I value depth of experience and willingness to embrace change. Phyllis has these unique and rare qualities. She also honors the craft of publishing and its heritage of bringing quality content to all people. These are the skills and values that make a true Publishing Professional. read more
