Leslie Youngblood

"I know I could not have achieved what I have without Savvy's edits. And her encouragement gave me the boost I needed. Now, I have signed two books with Disney-Hyperion!"

William Bernhardt

"Savannah has a keen eye and a sharp red pen. The results are excellent edits--always!"

Mab Morris

Love Like Sky and Forever this Summer by Leslie Youngblood

G-baby and her younger sister, Peaches, are still getting used to their "blended-up" family. They live with Mama and Frank out in the suburbs, and they haven't seen their real daddy much since he married Millicent. G-baby misses her best friend back in Atlanta, and is crushed that her glamorous new stepsister, Tangie, wants nothing to do with her. G-baby is so preoccupied with earning Tangie's approval that she isn't there for her own little sister when she needs her most.

Traveling Salesman's Son by William Bernhardt

In his latest collection, William Bernhardt again demonstrates that he is a true poet, one whose work accomplishes the difficult task of being both accessible and profound. He communicates with grace and illumination, avoiding the obscurity and obfuscation that sometimes causes readers to avoid modern poetry. He writes about the subjects that matter most: personal relationships, family, children, and the challenges of everyday life. Bernhardt is a poet who appeals even to those who think they don't like poetry and is cherished by those who do.
