“This man is wonderful. He does a fabulous job going through your manuscript step by step. He even tells you where to look in terms of publishing it. He was well, well, well worth the money. I just think he’s brilliant”

“I’ve had the pleasure of John’s feedback on my writing. His comments are honest and insightful yet compassionate and kind. His background as a writer who’s worked both in publishing and as an editor enables him to see things from the reader’s point of view as well as the publisher’s. I consider myself lucky to have worked with him. He is, quite simply,  a “writer’s writer.”

“You can’t go wrong with John Geoghegan as your editor. He’s a wonderful writer with a natural ability for editing fiction and non-fiction alike.”

“John has an eye for big-picture plot and character elements. Is the story credible? Are the characters likable? His suggestions are creative and constructive.”

“John really got me as a writer. He understood what I wanted to do and worked closely with me to achieve my goals. He’s not only a good listener, he’s an intuitive problem solver. As proof, I took far more of his suggestions than I rejected. I’d happily work with him again.”

“John has the rare ability to read a proposal, or manuscript, and identify exactly what needs to be done to help get it published. Importantly, he offers instructive guidance designed to improve your manuscript. He was instrumental in helping me get my first, non-fiction, book contract.”

“I first met John through his Book Passage class, HOW TO GET YOUR BOOK PUBLISHED. I was so impressed, I hired him to do a commercial assessment of my manuscript as well as help with the development of my book proposal, query letter, and agent/publisher target list. John was not only a pleasure to work with, but his guidance helped me to get a book contract. Now, I’m a published author!”

“There are a good number of unpublished charlatans offering editorial services in this space, but you, Sir, are the real deal.”

“As a writer, I’ve benefited from John’s wisdom through four books. A master at understanding how to meet reader expectations, John zeroes in on a writer’s intention, applauds what’s going right, and nails that unnecessary bit of exposition or missed opportunity to drive the story forward.”

“THANK YOU, John! I feel very grateful to have met you when I did. I sincerely believe…my proposal would’ve been rejected. I feel like I’m back in the game, thanks to you.”

“When John heard I had a book on the Madoff scandal he immediately read my proposal and boy, did he deliver. His recommended agent landed a book deal with McGraw Hill inside of a week. It was John’s help that made all the difference.”
