Ginger Eager is a fantastic writer; her novel The Nature of Remains is proof alone of her talent and craft. And as a fantastic writer with a keen eye and a big heart, she is a fantastic editor and writing guide, too. Her critiques are helpful and motivating. My work, both fiction and nonfiction, has benefitted from her insight. Supportive, smart, and honest in her assessments, she is the real deal.

In addition to being a terrific novelist in her own right, Ginger has a sharp eye for what isn’t quite working in a piece and how to fix it. Her advice is always insightful, constructive and encouraging, and she offers it with the empathy of one who knows how hard writing can be. You can have no better ally on your journey to publication.

Ginger's coaching went far beyond my expectations! She introduced me to material and ways of thinking from her own studies that enriched and expanded my book. Not only did she make useful recommendations and edits on my book, she also helped me develop a curriculum for a three day retreat where I will be teaching the same material. Her combination of encouragement, kindness and brilliance make her a wonderful coach.

Ginger says of herself, ‘I love helping writers find their way out of the weeds.’ She absolutely does this. After going the extra several miles in reading my first draft, she had lovely, encouraging feedback alongside her challenge to consider some major restructuring. She shared ideas, options, and helped me to reroute…in other words, she led me out of the weeds. SInce starting to work with Ginger, I have found joy in working on this project that I had definitely lost. Even when she is challenging something, she never forgets to point out what is good and working well. She is an excellent editor. I love working with Ginger!

Ginger Eager has the amazing ability to read a draft and then expand the author’s thinking about the material in an understandable and actionable way. I could not recommend her more highly.

Ginger Eager is an absolutely remarkable editor. My writing has benefitted immensely by her feedback. I am frequently bowled over by the insightful connections she makes with material I have written well over a year earlier. She has a treasure trove of resources from which she nimbly draws to add great depth and breadth to our discussions or to illustrate a concept for me. Further, Ginger is always interested and enthusiastic about my writing and, when my writing has not been forthcoming, she always has encouraging words and exercises to do (which work!). Without our regular meetings and her weekly feedback, I would not be where I am in my memoir today. Ginger is a godsend to any writer.
