When my book manuscript landed in Carine’s lap in 2017, it was about to go to press and she had graciously agreed to write a blub for the cover. What unfolded from there was not only an amazingly worded endorsement for Pure Land, but some of the most spot-on and insightful editing and marketing suggestions I have ever received during my 30-year journalism career. Carine’s outstanding instincts around genre placement and audience reach made it possible to craft expertly worded copy for the book cover and choose the perfect visuals. While I had lost all perspective after turning out a 100,000 word manuscript, Carine had the fresh eyes and laser focus to help me produce a 35-word summary for the cover that caught the attention of booksellers. And she continued to provide me with invaluable marketing and strategy advice during the months-long rollout of Pure Land, which went on to win the National Outdoor Book Award in 2018. Whether it was during a writing workshop that we co-taught or Carine’s advice on the proposal for my next book, I have always been inspired by her commitment to quality and belief that every single word matters. Take my word for it: Your future as an author is much brighter with Carine in your corner.
