“Collaborating with Carol Rosenberg was my first experience working with an editor for what was to become a published book. She was the final editor for the collaborative textbook, Yoga Therapy and Integrative Medicine: Where Ancient Sciences Meets Modern Medicine created by Larry Payne, PhD., Eden Goldman, DC, and myself. It could not have been a better experience! She was always patient, kind, gave important feedback, and was clear in her direction. I always agreed with her editing choices and found her fun, friendly, and incredibly professional all at the same time. It would be an honor to have Carol edit any future works. I hope to share the experience again.”

—Terra Gold, co-author, Yoga Therapy & Integrative Medicine

“Carol Rosenberg’s developmental editing of my Meditation Now: A Beginner’s Guide manuscript was truly outstanding. Immediately I trusted in her capacity to honor my voice and vision – while at the same time finding ways for the text to blossom even more beautifully. Though we were working with a very tight deadline, always she was kind and courteous, inspired and fully committed to the process. In a word (or six): truly a joy to work with!”

—Elizabeth Reninger, author, Meditation Now

“Carol Rosenberg is an answer to my prayers. She has the ability to keep my voice throughout while she polishes my work. She is responsive, timely, reliable, and truly a gem! She was my editor for Chakra Awakening, the Angel Gemstone Oracle Cards, All About Smudging, and two other titles in the publishing pipeline as I write this. She makes me look good! I am so grateful.”

—Margaret Ann Lembo, author, Chakra Awakening and others

“Editing is an art, and Carol Rosenberg has mastered it. With wit, patience, and a well-sharpened pencil, Carol has guided me through two books, one of which became a New York Times bestseller. Carol is all about the work. Her mission is to get the unique story that’s buried in the writer’s psyche onto the page in a way that’s compulsively readable and relatable! Carol’s gift is her self-lessens. One never gets the sense that she is trying to impose her thoughts on you. I consider myself blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Carol. I learned so much from her, and I would highly recommend her to any writer!”

—Jane Velez-Mitchell, author of the NY Times bestseller iWant: My Journey from Addiction and Overconsumption to an Honest, Simpler Life and Addict Nation: An Intervention for America, and host of Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell on HLN

“Carol picked up my writing voice in such a way that sometimes I thought I did it. She developed my manuscript into an Amazon Bestselling book. Never did I think it would develop as it has, and that is because of Carol’s unparalled skills in editing. I recommend her to everyone who asks me about editors!”

—Jake Ducey, author, Into the Wind

“Carol Rosenberg was invaluable in the development of Love Addict: Sex, Romance, and Other Dangerous Drugs (HCI Books, 2011). Her sharp objectivity help me structure and present a complex topic in an accessible and entertaining way. She is an excellent communicator; not only does her feedback make sense, but she is able to create a dialog to bring a concept to its highest and best form. This book would have been half as good without her. I could not recommend her more highly.”

—Ethlie Ann Vare, author, producer, and humorist

“While working together on my novel, Être the Cow, Carol was not simply my editor—she was my full artistic partner. Without her unwavering support and passion for my work, Être the Cow could never have been brought to market. Every detail of my book bears Carol’s hallmark creativity—from the crisp, nuanced writing style, to its minimalist design. Carol’s editorial insights and book packaging skills are unmatched in the publishing industry, and I am forever grateful for her courage and her knowledge.”

—Sean Kenniff, author, Être the Cow

“As the editor of my first book, Can I Get a Do Over?, Carol Rosenberg was equal parts mentor, creative partner, critic, psychologist, and empathetic friend. And believe me, I needed them all. Carol’s like a music producer with a great ear for ‘just the right sound.’ She took a group of good stories and helped transform them . . . into a beautiful book. I am forever grateful.”

—Rick Domeier, author of Can I Get A Do Over?

“Carol Rosenberg is a phenomenal editor. She edited the book I wrote when I was 15 and transformed it into a practical fitness book while maintaining my thoughts and my personal spirit. She was an overall wonderful person to work with. Our relationship became more a friendship than strictly business because I felt that she cared about me as a person, as well as the success of the book. She has a passion for her work, and it shows in how she treats writers and in the finished products.”

—Taylor LeBaron, author of Cutting Myself in Half: 150 Pounds Lost, One Byte at a Time

“Working with Carol Rosenberg was both a challenge and a pleasure. She encouraged us to stretch our abilities and improve our manuscript’s format, structure, and writing. And throughout the process, she maintained a relaxed, positive relationship and made the editing process fun. Her genuine passion for producing an excellent book was contagious. She not only believed in the project; she also backed her belief with dedication and commitment. We felt that we had a true partner throughout the editing process with one crucial exception: She allowed us to retain complete ownership of the project. Carol has the extremely rare gift of improving a manuscript while keeping the writer’s voice. Our book was one hundred percent improved by Carol’s talent and expertise.”

—Jack and Mary Branson, coauthors, Cutting Myself in Half: 150 Pounds Lost, One Byte at a Time

“I would have slept better at night if I knew Carol Rosenberg would be editing my book once I finished writing it. She’s incredibly intelligent, creative, and seeks to collaborate on a project rather than control it. I trust her implicitly with my work.”

—Gabe Berman, author, Live Like a Fruit Fly

“Carol Rosenberg is an extraordinary fiction editor. She negotiates the minefield that lies between a writer’s vision and the changes necessary to improve her project with amazing ease. She is creative, positive, energetic, intelligent, and, in short, is a joy to work with.”

—J. Gabriel Gates, author, The Sleepwalkers, Dark Territory, and Ghost Crown

“Every author completes a book with a sense of joy and accomplishment, and Carol Rosenberg has a unique talent for improving the quality of the work without deflating that marvelous feeling. She is the best editor I’ve had the privilege of working with, bar none—and as the author of over a dozen published novels and how-to books, I have plenty of grounds for comparison. In writing Dark Territory and Ghost Crown (with my incomparable partner J. Gabriel Gates), the most valuable insight I got from Carol (and always expressed with caring and respect), was that readers can’t see what’s inside my head unless I paint an indelible verbal picture with my words. She has made me a better writer and I look forward to working with her as we continue The Tracks series for HCI Teens.”

—Charlene Keel, coauthor, Dark Territory and Ghost Crown

“I am blessed that Carol Rosenberg was my editor. Her expertise and insight on my first book provided a wonderful learning experience. Her warm and caring manner made the journey to the finished product a rewarding experience. She was by my side when the first copies were bound, and her enthusiasm and passion made for a memorable occasion. I feel fortunate that Carol was my editor. I hope that I have the opportunity to work with her again in the near future.”

—Marsha Engle, author, 100 Sounds to See

“As my in-house editor at HCI, Carol accomplished the impossible for me; three books, three different genres, all released on the same day. Wait it (she) gets better . . . all three made it to #1, #2, and #5 on Amazon.com in their respective genre! If you are thinking of using Carol for your literary needs, as an author of five books who has experience with more than one editor, I can say without hesitation that Carol is the absolute best.”

—Frank McKinney, five-times bestselling author, http://www.frank-mckinney.com

“Carol Rosenberg’s remarkable editing skills and superb guidance are the reasons why The Medium Next Door shot to #1 on Amazon’s Bestsellers Rank in its category and continues to hold a top ranking. Throughout the editing process until the very last detail was completed, Carol acted as my mentor, book coach, and editor. She took a very rough manuscript and brought it to life. I’ve worked with other editors, and none can compare to Carol’s attention detail, structure, flow, and grammatical genius.”

—Maureen Hancock, author, The Medium Next Door, and internationally known spirit medium and star of Style Network’s Psychic in Suburbia

“Working with Carol Rosenberg was such a pleasurable experience. She respected my talent and input as an author, yet infused her professional insights and experience in the business to make the book better. As a team we produced a best-seller!”

 —Max Davis, author and ghostwriter

“Carol Rosenberg was a God-send. She arrived late on our project and worked with us quickly and gracefully to meet all deadlines and to move our publishing project forward. She understood the contexts and relationships that needed special care and always kept the end in sight. She was a gift to work with.”

—Judy Rodgers, author, Something Beyond Greatness

“I had the opportunity to work with Carol Rosenberg on two very important book projects, The White House Boys: An American Tragedy and A Better Yesterday: Living Life After Abuse. In the past years, I have worked with several noted Hollywood actors, directors, and producers. Yet, to this day, I have never worked with anyone who has the personal dedication of Carol Rosenberg. More important to me is that she truly cared about me and the projects we were working on. In the middle of some very tight deadlines, she always had time for a smile and a joke to break the strain and stress of the situation at hand. Once the projects were complete; she always had time to send a personal note of concern. I also admired that she never tried to take credit where credit might even be due. This is a rare quality indeed.”

—Roger Dean Kiser, Sr., author/child advocate

“Carol Rosenberg was my editor for a ‘how-to’ book on addiction and recovery that I recently ghostwrote for HCI Books. Carol was a delight to work with. She offered the kind of keen editorial insight on structure and content that any writer hopes for while always being respectful of the author and my writing style and vision for the project. Carol’s input about the addiction market and HCI readers in particular helped me shape and organize chapters, add exercises, and make sure the author’s message was consistent, specific, and easy to understand. I highly recommend Carol to any publisher or writer looking for an editor who sees the big picture, can shape material, and get a book ready for publication.”

—Gina Gold, ghostwriter

“Carol Rosenberg was the editor and project manager for two books that I coauthored, Nutrient Timing and The Performance Zone. Both of these books were published on a fairly tight deadline and therefore it was essential that the editor and I have a close working relationship. Carol brought enormous insight and sound editorial criticism to these projects. She is a delight to work with. The editorial process works best when there is strong respect between the editor and the author. The net result is truly an enhanced product. Carol brings exceptional value to the process. She is one of the best editors with whom I have worked. I hope I have the opportunity to work with her again in the future.”

—Dr. Robert Portman, President & CEO of PacificHealth Laboratories

“There is no other word to describe Carol Rosenberg’s editing abilities, but masterful. She worked on my book, Waking the Warrior Goddess: Dr. Christine Horner’s Program to Protect Against and Fight Breast Cancer, which was released in 2005. My book won the IPPY award for the ‘Best book in health, medicine and nutrition’ for 2006. I attribute part of that award to Carol’s superb editing. . . . I can’t highly recommend Carol Rosenberg enough. She is obviously brilliant and was an absolute pleasure to work with.”

—Christine Horner, M.D., author, Waking the Warrior Goddess

“Now for the Number-One Reason to Work with Carol:

You will never find a more honest, compassionate, talented, intelligent, sophisticated, humorous, and committed editor for your project.”

—Jake Ehrenreich, author, A Jew Grows in Brooklyn: The Curious Reflections of a First-Generation American
