“When I need a great editor I always call on Shea Dean. She not only has the discerning eye of an expert copy editor, but time and again she lends her sharp intellect to the project, analyzing a piece of writing from its deep structure, pointing out strengths, problems, and solutions. Shea, a talented writer herself, always makes my writing better.”
—J. Richard Gentry, PhD, author of Raising Confident Readers
“Vague as all definitions are, a good essay must have this permanent quality about it; it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in, not out.”
– VIRGINIA WOOLF
