Testimonials
“[Book Drop] believed in me. You believed in my book. Thank you so much for everything!”
(nonfiction)
“I loved working with Becky. She was fun, upbeat and made my book real. When I opened the box from Amazon and sat there looking at my novel, it was all so surreal. She made it my book.”
R.D. (initials used with client’s permission, fiction)
“I blinked and there was my manuscript!”
(nonfiction)
“I never could have completed one story without Becky. She coached me every step of the way.”
N. R. (initials used with client’s permission, fiction)
“Becky was professional, warm, and knew what to say to nudge that book from my brain.”
(narrative nonfiction)
"Totally professional. No surprises. Except the book when I saw it up on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!”
A. M. (initials used with client’s permission, nonfiction, memoir)
“Thank you so much. You were so much more fun to work with than my previous editors.”
(memoir)
"Holly has been a great sounding board. She has done really well in assisting me with a book theme that is a bit out of the ordinary. She has asked insightful questions and helped me to find my voice along the way."
(nonfiction)
"[Book Drop] did a great job working through the book outline with me and challenging me to see my content from the reader's perspective. I love where the book is going and can’t wait to see the final product!"

As for our own writing (and yes, we publish in many genres. Like most women, we are Renaissance women):
“The writing is spot on lyrical and full of grit exactly when it needs to be. This is a novel that will stay with you long after the final page.”
Lee Martin, author of The Bright Forever, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize
“A good novel is a self-contained world, full of rich individuals rooted in the American Landscape. This book is just that.”
Kevin Haworth, author of The Discontinuity of Small Things, Dayton Literary Peace Prize nominee
“An exciting plot, a refreshing main character, and precise and evocative language combine to offer us a fine read.'"
Sena Jeter Naslund, author of Ahab's Wife
“The Great Detective as a woman? Yes, with all the quirks, foibles, and misanthropy, all the genius, and all the darkness that runs through that remarkable mind. I look forward to more of Myrl Adler and her faithful Watson."
Laurie R.King, mystery writer, Edgar Award Winner
"Best of all, the writing crackles with wit and humor. Material that could turn corny or trite in a less capable writer's hands is instead fresh and believable here."
Kate Geielman, essayist with Salon, Washington Post, NPR
