 BOOK PROJECTS

“Linda Nathan was the answer to my calling, a dream come true for me. As a first time author, Linda managed the entire project for my book, Secrets of Voice-over Success. This included: manuscript evaluation, scheduling, interviewing top voice-over actors, writing, rewriting, editing, proofreading and general preparation of my manuscript for the publisher. I realized very quickly to trust Linda’s experience. She had so many powerful skills and so much integrity and dedication with everything she did, I called her ‘Linda with the Midas touch.’ Also Linda provided so much invaluable insight, boundless energy and deep significance to my book, I’ll never forget her. Linda is without a doubt an important asset that I will keep on my team!”

 EDITORIAL & PUBLISHING CONSULTATION

  “Linda has had almost total decision making responsibility related to control and production of the publication’s content ... In the course of this work, Linda deals with a great number of publicists from all levels and sizes of presenting organizations, communicating by letter, fax, phone, email, and Internet to create and confirm a very complex content. The nature and size of Northwest Events as a monthly dictates that Linda works in her capacity, as editor, approximately the last two weeks of every month.

“The quality of Linda’s work [as editor] for Northwest Events & Lifestyle Review has been the highest I have experienced in all the years since starting the publication. In the course of obtaining, organizing, editing and writing, and typesetting all of the content, Linda proofs all of that content with the greatest accuracy we have ever had at Northwest Events. Overall, Linda has maintained and greatly improved the scope and quality of Northwest Events’ very complex and detailed content, and strengthened our appeal among our increasing readership.”

SELF-PUBLISHING / MEDIA SERVICES

 “At my request, Linda researched, wrote, and edited the book,  The Dark Side of Karate, about my life as a former national karate champion and my rescue by Jesus Christ. Through her research and extensive taped interviews with me, she also provided an in-depth examination of the religious and historical elements in the martial arts.

“When I chose to self-publish, she walked me step by step through the process. As my publicist, she created and maintains our Web site, http://darksideofkarate.com, and created both an online and print media kit, including email announcements and press releases, bios, photos, interview questions, a post card, brochure, and other materials. 

“Linda helped me organize my first successful book signing, as well as radio and TV appearances, in my hometown of Portland, Oregon. Linda is very professional and thorough, and her skills have been very important to me during this book journey. Besides being a valued business associate, she also became my friend. Her help was God-sent after much prayer and deliberation to help me reveal my life story and conversion.

“I recommend Linda without reservation for any book project.”
