Praise for byGosch

Ann Gosch is a wonderfully talented editor. I try not to let anything go to the public that she hasn’t looked at first. She is fast and efficient, so it is cost-effective to do so.

For me, there is an added bonus in that she understands my industry very well technically. Therefore, she is more than excellent as a sewing book editor. Ann is easy and pleasant to work with and I highly recommend her—unless it means she won’t have time for me!
