I’ve received a testimonial from the author I worked with in September. This is what they had to say about me: “My publisher chose Timothy Repasky to put the finishing touches on my manuscript. I was delighted with the swift and extremely thorough work done by him. Timothy went above and beyond the call of

I’m excited to share that a book I edited is out today! Kyd’s Game is a thriller written by Marc Rosenberg and published by Vine Leaves Press. It takes place primarily in Russia and is a tale of espionage. This book definitely made the James Bond fan in me very happy, and I can wholeheartedly
