Anne is an amazing editor and project manager. I hired her to work on a cookbook on a rush schedule and asked her to put together a team including a first-time recipe developer. She handled everything from recipe analysis to setting up the photoshoot to working with the designer to hit the right page count - whatever it took to get the job done.
The schedule and scope of the job kept shifting, and she rose to the occasion every time, producing a beautiful and useful book in a record amount of time. She was a true professional throughout, knew her stuff and asked all the right questions, and delivered above and beyond what I could have hoped for - all at a reasonable cost. I am definitely hiring Anne again and would happily recommend her to anyone.
