Testimonials

Rob, Tom Brokaw called today.  Your letter did it.  He requested six stories.  I’ll keep you informed. Don Scheer, Florida

Robert Bacon did not just critique my book, he directed it. He understood my vision and knew what the audience would expect from my characters. He gave me exactly the kind of advice I needed to see my book not just from the editor’s point of view but from that of the reader. Sirena Gibson, New Mexico

Above and beyond the call of duty might be things they say in the military, but I think these words apply to Mr. Bacon perfectly. His insightful critiques are unlike any criticism I’ve received from anyone else; prudent and yet critical, and always relevant to the publishing industry. Later, I decided to have Mr. Bacon line edit my manuscript, and it’s quite amazing to end up with a gleaming novel that reads just like the ones in bookstores. Rob, you’re amazing! Ali Al-Ebrahim, Kuwait

I’ve worked with Rob for nearly two years and realized very early what a gem of an editor he is. An agent at a writer’s conference said, “The ideal editor will not just point out what is wrong with your writing, but will spend an equal amount of time explaining what is right about it.” At that point I realized just how good Rob is and will be for my writing. I wholeheartedly recommend his services, and do so whenever I can. Mike Hartner, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Robert L. Bacon took my old query letter apart and put it back together again. 
I sent eight queries to specific agents. I got FOUR positive responses, including an offer to read the whole manuscript (that’s rare!), and just days later I had
a contract with a New York literary agent. Sounds easy? I’ve been working on
 ”A Private Showing” for years! Thanks, Rob. Martha Moffett, Florida

[Disclosure: Ms. Moffett is a very capable writer who has six novels published by major imprints such as Avon and Berkley. She also has exceptional credentials as a line editor, and two years after I touched up her query I engaged her as an editing associate, and I currently utilize her to line edit many of the manuscripts I developmentally edit.]

Robert L. Bacon has an extraordinary gift for writing queries. In less than two weeks after his editing my query, I received an answer from a New York based agency, asking for my entire manuscript. Barbara Weitzner, Florida

The Perfect Write bridges the gap for delicate correspondence that is serious, but not so much so that the matter needs to be handled by an attorney. Mr. Bacon does a superb job of conveying my thoughts in a clear and effective manner.  I recommend The Perfect Write to anyone who desires a professional letter. Thomas Dempsy, Colorado

I could not get my message across, and Mr. Bacon’s letter got my landlord to reduce the rent on my business. I tried a half-dozen phone calls, and even made a trip to his office. The letter was what did the trick. Eustis Ford, New Jersey

My resume was not producing any results, after six months of sending them all over Chicago. The Perfect Write created a cover letter for me to include with the resume, and showed me how to make it work for different jobs I was applying for. I got three interviews in the first month, and one developed into a job offer
I just received and accepted. Hooray for The Perfect Write. I recommend the service to anyone who wants to put a best foot forward in the today’s tough job market. Calvin Clark, Illinois

Using The Perfect Write is the smartest move I’ve made in years. It’s just like the mission statement says, the correspondence service is affordable, simple to use, and 100% private. And Mr. Bacon’s letter writing skills are fabulous.  Vince Canazaro, Nevada
