“Elizabeth Stark is one of the most astute readers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She can read a manuscript, understand what’s working, what’s not working, and has the ability to guide the writer to the next draft. She’s smart, clear, gentle, and encouraging in her approach. She also knows a lot about the publishing industry and is able to address the complicated issues of the market. From now on, any new work of mine will go first to Elizabeth for her guidance and suggestions.” — Ellen Sussman, author of the bestselling On a Night Like This and two anthologies, Bad Girls: 26 Authors Misbehave and Dirty Words: a Literary Encyclopedia of Sex
