Testimonials
 “I wish to thank Marylane Wade Koch, my editor,
whom the Lord definitely put in my life. Without her
help this book would not have come to fruition.. When
Marylane commits to something, she stands fast by it.” Jean
Cassidy, author, If You Do the Difficult, God Will
Do the Impossible.
 “Marylane Koch is a professional editor. I had
the pleasure of working with Marylane on my first book The
Heart of Adoption. She encourages, coaches, and
brings out the best of what is written. I highly
recommend her services.” Vickie Bryan, author, The
Heart of Adoption.
“Meeting Marylane Koch was a serendipity event
in my pursuit of a freelance writing career. She
presided, and still does, over a local Christian writers
group which welcomed me warmly. From that initial
encounter to the present day, Marylane’s keen interest
in my success as a writer has inspired me to develop
my writing skills, both mechanical and creative. I
affectionately call her ‘Coach,’ for that
is her role, suggesting new, even adventurous venues
for the development my craft. She is also a great
friend, mentor, and one of my most enthusiastic cheerleaders. ”Ken
Carver, Freelance Writer and Journalist
"I knew Marylane long before she became a Christian
writer. She always displayed a happy disposition
and a willingness to help people. She displayed the characteristics
of Servant Leadership before the term was even coined.
While employed by either a hospital or a university,
she mentored all the individuals who worked under her
supervision. She encouraged so many individuals and convinced
them that they could write and be published. And with
Marylane as their editor, they succeeded. She has a amazing
'way with words' and they come from the love in
her heart."
