Testimonials

I submitted my shell of a manuscript to Mr. Bacon for a critique. I had no idea
he was so talented. He came up with suggestions and ideas for my story that literally made it come alive. He is frank, honest, and worth every penny. If you aren’t subscribed to his Newsletter, do it right away. He explains things in a
way that you just get it. I wouldn’t work with anyone but him. Michelle White, Florida.

Discovering Robert Bacon was like finding gold. In the last six months he’s given me more insight into the world of publishing, as well as editing my own book, DRUGS, GUNS, AND MONEY, than everyone else combined since I began writing. One of the best in the business, I really can’t say enough good things about
the guy. I have no doubt that if I’d known Mr. Bacon a few years earlier I’d be
an established author by now. Frank Geiger, New Jersey

I cannot offer enough praise for Robert Bacon. Over the years Rob has been
an instrumental part of my writing journey. He has helped me with everything from plot development to creating memorable characters and has edited and line-edited my manuscripts. Rob is also a master at devising query letters that get positive agent response. With Rob by my side, I know my stories will be their best. He is honest, hard-working, and believes in his clients. Working
with Rob has been the best decision I’ve made in my writing career. Caryn DeVincenti, Florida

Working with Robert Bacon has been both a pleasure and an education. He analyzed my script and found flaws that had gone unnoticed in both the storyline and other elements that needed attention. Rob’s critique was exacting yet he made it his goal to stand in my shoes as the script was put into shape. The comforting result is that Rob treated me as an equal and all decisions were my own. He covered what needed to be done and what could be done. It was an enlightening experience and I would recommend his services to any serious writer. Ted Meskers, Producer for the Broadway Production of RASPUTIN)

Rob is a great editor for any unpublished writer. He has the knowledge and patience to guide your story to conclusion. He’s honest and I recommend him. Vince Barrington, Tennessee

When I contacted Rob Bacon, I had run out of ideas. My novel was as good as
I could make it. Then Rob showed me how to make it better. What is something like this worth? To me, it’s worth everything. I now understand that novel writing is not merely one pencil, one keyboard against the universe. It’s a collaborative effort. You write a story as best you can, and then you find a good editor. It was my great luck to find Rob. Sterling Brown, New Jersey

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

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

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.” It was then that 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, British Columbia, Canada

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
