“Gwen gets it. She understands how to create rhythm with sentences. She knows why one well-chosen word is better than five words of fluff. And why there is never any reason to use a phrase that is over used. She's curious. A hoarder of knowledge. Someone who always wants to learn how to make her writing even better. She's not just a writer, she's a great human being as well. ”
