My clients appreciate my input into their projects because:
1. I’m encouraging and I accentuate the positive.
2. I’m not coming up with criticism because I’m convinced they must be there to be found since you asked. All criticism is the constructive kind and I help people find solutions to their story problems.
3. I strive to be gentle and insightful.
4. I don’t mock effort or ambition (I’m looking at some of you FBAs*).
5. My clients know I’m trying to help them make their project better. I’m on their side and it’s their choice to adopt my editorial suggestions.
I’m for the underdog.
