| Lisa Cron is every serious writer's
dream: a source of caring, candid, capable, creative
support. Since she is herself also a writer she
brings not merely an analytical and intellectual
perspective--though she provides that too--but the
essential hands-on, insider's view that belongs
to practitioners alone. I would not dream of submitting
my work to an agent, publisher, or production company
without first consulting with Lisa Cron. |

| I've known and worked with Lisa
for the past ten years and when it comes to the
three-act structure of screenplays, the nature of
characters and plot points, she's the best. Whether
you're a first time writer or a seasoned Hollywood
veteran, the service she provides is invaluable.
Her talent will help the screenwriter take an idea
from the first germ of a concept, to outline, to
written screenplay. |

| Lisa, you are brilliant. No
one could have accomplished more. It was miraculous.
There is an agent who wants my materials now...

| Lisa Cron is a double-barreled
dynamo of word and screen! A superb and insightful
book editor and the most crafty script doctor in
Hollywood, she's among the few to combine the two
talents to make money for her clients! Lisa is the
reason my book was optioned as a motion picture,
and it's about time she brought her unique abilities
to the world and the Web! |

| Asking someone to analyze your
writing is one thing, trusting their instincts is
another. Which is to say I've always wished I could
step outside myself and read my own writing objectively,
but that's impossible. Lisa is one of those rare
editorial analysts who can discern an author's intent.
She's the objective voice I've learned to trust.
I recommend her highly. |

| Lisa, you're a genius! I can't
believe I have access to your expertise! And you're
so nice, to boot! By the time I'm finished, you
will have written the book, as it will be filled
with all of your ideas. Thank you. No wonder writers
feel so indebted to their agents and editors. If
and when this novel gets published, I hope to publicly
express my gratitude to you! |

|
| Lisa Cron is a very valuable
resource for any agent or author. She's terrific
at identifying the weak parts of a story and constructively
articulating exactly why a novel doesn't work, and
how it can be fixed. She has a literary sensibility
coupled with a commercial eye. I've referred her
to several of my authors and often ask her to do
a second read on writers I am considering for representation.

| Lisa Cron was an invaluable story
analyst for me at William Morris for over 10 years.
Her opinion on whether a book worked or not for
film or television was always astute, articulated
clearly, and on the mark. She has an amazing sense
of plot and character development. |

|
| Lisa is incredibly adept in the
art of storytelling. She is able to get into the
minds of the characters and not only tell you what's
not working, but why it's not working and most importantly,
how to fix it. Having worked with various writers,
development executives, and studios, I believe Lisa
is one of the most talented and skillful artists
of the written word I've ever worked with. |
