Sharon has improved my writing style. Her editing skills were a distinct asset to me in completing this book.”

“I’ve always loved writing and was content with my writing-style until a few months ago when Sharon edited an eBook I wrote.  As I revised the eBook, based on Sharon’s editorial notes, she showed me that I could convey the same meaning a more concise way, thereby conveying my thoughts more effectively.  It made the ebook much easier to read and paragraphs flow much better. Her editing skills were a distinct asset to me in completing this book.

 She also contributed to an Opt-in Page I wrote earlier in the year by suggesting that I highlight key phrases that would appeal to my target audience.

Because of the impact Sharon has made on improving my writing style, each time I now write a blog post, article, eCourse, or short report I think, “Is this the best way I could express this point?” or “Could this be said in a more concise way?”  Thank you, Sharon.” Yvonne A. Jones, Author of “Superior Customer Service for Small Business Owners & Entrepreneurs”

“Sharon was an outstanding editor!”

“I got to know Sharon last summer when she was the editor for our Christmas Anthology, “The True Meaning of Giving: Daily December Devotions to Delight Your Soul.” Sharon was an outstanding editor. She was thorough, kind, and very encouraging. She made us dig deep and led us to improve our pieces. I learned a ton from her! I liked Sharon’s editing style, so much so that she was the editor of my book, ‘The Peaceful Soul: Grow Closer to God with an Easy At-Home Spiritual Retreat.” Cristina Vallecillo

“She goes above and beyond.”

“I learned a lot from Sharon during the editing process of The True Meaning of Giving last winter and she was such a pleasure to work with. She’s more than an editor – she has a heart to help writers grow. She understands that our words are our babies, so she uses her red marker with kindness and gentleness. I am so grateful for her coaching spirit in her editing. She goes above and beyond. I recommend her to any writer looking for more than just an editor.” Valerie Riese

“My writing has transformed before my eyes.”

“Sharon’s class, “How to Write for Fun and Profit,” helped me feel more confident about my writing. I’ve always liked to write. Right out of college, I tutored Writing Composition at the same school I went to. I’ve done proofreading and editing but didn’t give much thought to creating imagery in my writing.
I never knew how to open articles with “hook” lines or “engage my reader.

Sharon’s class taught me how to write nonfiction, creatively. My own writing has transformed before my eyes.

The best part of Sharon’s class though, is she became my friend. Sharon truly cares about her students. Her enlightening personality and friendly style made me feel comfortable to open up and write, even on topics I am sensitive about.

Her critiquing is so right on. When I revised my stories incorporating her edits, a new light was shed on my work. Through her class, I’ve even started my own blog. Thank you for helping me become a better writer, Sharon!”  Zina Hermez http://www.zinahermez.wordpress.com/

“The best part was receiving personal critiques of my writing.
I recently finished Sharon Rose Gibson’s online course, “How to Write for Fun and Profit.” The steps were divided into easy chapters to understand. Each chapter suggested homework that instilled the principles. 
The best part was receiving personal critiques of my writing. I learned to recognize my own common mistakes and to stretch my ability by using the principles taught in the course. 
Sharon never missed an opportunity to encourage or to build my confidence. She always responded quickly and expressed interest in me and my project. I look forward to a continued learning relationship with Sharon!Nancy Houston

“Sharon Gibson was kind enough to take me under her wing for some creative coaching. As a lifetime “creative” person, some folks may think you don’t need a creative coach. Wrong. Everyone needs a mentor to step into a new level of clarity.
After my time with Sharon, I had clarity after 5 years of struggling and being stuck. She provided me with important feedback about a new product I created and showed me where a few changes would create a product worth selling. Imagine that, making money from my creative endeavors? WOW!
My hang-ups over the past year stopped me from moving my creativity and creative business forward. Now, I’m ready to move forward to use my creativity to help others with clarity, focus, and confidence. Kim Steadman, Creative Mentor and author of “The Creative Prayer Journal.” www.KimSteadman.com

“Sharon got me unstuck!

“I couldn’t believe how the questions she had me consider for my sales copy easily prompted my thoughts. Everything just flowed out of my heart and mind and onto the paper.

It was so important to me to find and express what she referred to as “My Voice.” I wanted to share the passion and heart behind what I do, why I do it, and not give some sales pitch. Sharon helped me get to the point where I could share an authentic, caring, side of myself. 

Her gentle, yet, straightforward guidance was exactly what I needed to get the job done. The best part was that the process became enjoyable rather than a chore. I’m still writing almost every day – just for my own pleasure.

 Big, wonderful, thanks to you Sharon! You are a great teacher and a true inspiration!
