Michael LaRocca has edited my books. His command of the English language is better than mine and I have a B.S. Degree. |

Mr. Michael LaRocca was the staff editor for a publisher which had contacted me for my short story collection 'Through Other Eyes'. I am happy to say that he did a thoroughly competent, professional job as an editor, and my book was improved as a result. I can thoroughly recommend Michael's professional skills and knowledge. As an editor, he is able to satisfy the highest standards. He is meticulous, knowledgeable and competent. His technique is to encourage the writer, while picking up all the faults, whether at the technical level of grammar, spelling and punctuation, or at the deeper levels of plot, characterization and description. |

My experience with Mr. LaRocca is that he always respected the integrity of the author's work. While he corrected problems, he never tainted the natural "flavor" of the author's narrative. As an author, that meant a lot to me. I've worked with Mr. LaRocca on two occasions, and he always delivered a quality product in a timely fashion. He makes excellent use of his time. His winning sense of humor makes him very personable--which is quite a feat, when you're just communicating via email. Lance Panzer, author of Vampire Seductress |

Mr. LaRocca was one of two people who edited my first novel, Fire Lilies. This novel was the Winner of the 2002 Independent E-book Award for Best Romance and a Finalist in the 2002 EPIC Literary Award Competition for Best Historical Novel. Mr. LaRocca's excellent writing and editing skills helped propel my novel to the high level it achieved. I highly recommend him as he is both a skilled editor and writer. |

Michael LaRocca is an outstanding editor. I was lucky to obtain his editorial service for a novel I had written. Before I asked for Michael's help, I had tried for years to find a publisher without any success. Shortly after Michael's work on my novel, a prestigious publisher wanted to publish my novel. Without Michael's skilful editorial service, the novel might never have been published. LaRocca is a genius, and he has a special gift for the English language. This gift includes writing nonfiction, fiction, and poetry in addition to his wonderful editorial ability. LaRocca has an outstanding ear for the rhythms and sounds of the English language. In addition, he can write authentic sounding regional dialects, which is a skill not many authors have mastered. I would not be surprised if LaRocca writes some great American literature in the future.

I have many more, but I know you're getting almost as bored with them as I am, especially after that "genius" crack, so I'll spare you. |
