"I heartily endorse Mary Sayler and her creative talents. Having worked with her over the years, I can vouch for her conscientiousness, promptness, and reliabilty. And with her talents ranging from in-depth medical research to tutoring to lyrical poetry, how could you go wrong in using her services?"
"’You get what you pay for,’ truly fits here, Mary. I don't know anyone with more expertise and creative ability in helping writers develop than you. You have at least 30 years’ experience in almost every writing genre. If I wanted to truly whip my manuscript into shape, I would beat the doors down to find someone like her."
Sandy Brooks, former Director of the Christian Writers Fellowship International (SC)
"If you are looking for a top notch writing instructor, you have found her in Mary Sayler. A gifted teacher, poet, and published writer, Mary knows her stuff. With many years of experience under her belt, she is a veritable resource of information on both the art and the business of writing. I highly recommend her!"
MaryAnne Diorio, Owner, Top Notch Writing Solutions
"Dear Mary, I appreciate your helpful comments on the poems you edit for me. They are encouraging and most instructive.... My goal is a book, and I was wondering if after you do the (critique) and I do revisions if I may send them to you for a final edit and perhaps some guidance on how I might proceed."
J.B. (KY)
"Dear Mary. It seems I will have two books to be published by next summer. I will include your name in my acknowledgements in both books, as you edited my poems. Is that okay? Thank you so much for your encouragement and meticulous editing. I have probably 200 more poems for you to edit in a few months, but I will study the notes and suggestions you gave me first to avoid unnecessary errors."
Anna (Canada)
“I received your critique yesterday. Thank you for your suggestions and corrections.
Your comments were very helpful and made good sense. I would like to send you
another 60 poems.”
Many regards, Alexej (Germany)
“I have received your critique, and all I have to say is "Thank you." Your critique
was eye opening. I hope you consider critiquing some of the other works I have
written. Again thank you. You have really helped me.”
Thomas (FL)
“Hi, Mary. You're too kind. I have a lot to learn. If you ever need a testimonial, I'd
be delighted to supply one: Sound insights and savvy advice. I could not have
asked for more.”
Don (OK)
"Mary Sayler critiqued two groups of poems for me. Her comments were very helpful
and insightful. She understood what I was trying to do and worked to get me closer
to that ideal. Since then, wehave developed a professional and personal friendship
online. I can thoroughly recommend Mary to anyone who wants a sensitive critique
of his or her work."
Maryanne H. (New York)
"Dear Mary. Thank you so much for your very thoughtful, thorough comments and suggestions regarding my work and also for the publishing information. As for encouragement — you have made all the difference. When I have more poems, I
will send them on for your evaluation."
M.J. (Canada)
