RECOMMENDATIONS:
“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 an amazing 'way with words' and they come from the love in her heart." Margaret Sousoulas, Clinical Nurse Specialist.
