What People Say

“Donna Galanti sets learners at ease with her accessible demeanor, confident knowledge, and well organized presentations. In the marketing lecture I attended, she helped daunted introverts accept that social media and publishing go hand-in-hand for today's writer, and that ideally, platform building, like writing, deserves years of pre-publication devotion. For beginners starting out or authors catching up, her clear, step-by-step suggestions untangle what can seem like an overwhelming jumble of marketing tasks. I highly recommend Donna as a speaker.”

"Donna is a professional and a pleasure to work with. She shared strategies with me that not only helped lead to the publication of my first novel, but also helped me secure my dream agent. I have followed her expert advice on positioning myself and my first novel during the all-important marketing period before and after publication. Aside from her expertise, her enthusiasm is infectious and she's a truly kind person."
Wayne C. Rush, Librarian, Grover Cleveland Middle School, Caldwell, NJ
“Our students were enthralled to participate in Donna Galanti’s interactive presentation and hear firsthand how a published author navigates the writing process. Her connections between the writing and revision process were made clear in a spirited and playful manner that not only engaged students’ personal trials in writing, but inspired them to continue to be creative and self-reflective. The students and teachers were still talking about her days after she left.”

“Wow! What an engaging presentation given by Donna Galanti! There was something for all students. From sharing her personal journey of becoming a published author, to providing answers about the process in general, and answering questions, she had the students’ attention from early on. She shared her insights about the writing process and the importance of revision. Her hands-on activity involving character, setting, and dialogue created a truly relevant experience. From glimpses of her early writings, revisions, rejections, and successes the students gained access to valuable perspective.”

“Aren't writers supposed to revise AFTER clicking the final period on that first draft? That might be the rule, but Donna Galanti tells you how to use tried and true revision strategies to write your first draft better in the first place. I went to her session recently and found her suggestions relevant and effective. I highly recommend Use Revision Techniques to Write a Better First Draft.”

You were very positive and upbeat and made me feel less self-conscious about my lack of experience and more hopeful about how my particular experience could work on a resume. Your speed was impressive and the final product looks great. You really tailored it to my field, something I could not have done in a million years! My overall experience was tremendous. It was pleasant, professional, very positive. I will continue to recommend your service!"
