“I have worked with authors who have many published books to their credit, but there is a special place in my heart for the first-time author,” says Williamson.
“Among the hundred-plus authors I have worked with are Neale Donald Walsh (this author’s Conversations with God occupied the New York Times Bestseller List for more than two and one-half years), T. J. MacGregor (she won the Edgar Award in 2002), and Roseanne Farano (popular lecturer and author of The Dove in Downward Flight and For the Sake of the Children).”
