"Monique is a talented editor, excellent motivator, a class act, and a genuine human being to top it off! A rare combination. She provides an environment where editors and writers can work together to hone their art, as well as pursue their dream of writing full time. Again, a rare combination. I will definitely submit my work to her for the final polishing it needs to be the best it can be." Peter A. Balaskas, Managing Editor/Writer, Ex Machina Press, LLC., LA, CA.

"Monique is an editor's editor.  Monique is a writer's dream.  Monique is an agent's dream come true." Deborah Warren, East-West Agency

"Monique is a writer's dream. At once a coach, mentor, gifted editor, delightful friend and ultimate champion, she helps bring out the best in every writer she works with.
Her connections to the top agents and editors in the industry are invaluable." Joelle Delbourgo, President, Joelle Delbourgo Associates Literary Management

"As an agent I see many manuscripts in many forms. The ones that I request from Monique Raphel High and her students come with the best possible chance of being picked up either by an agent or by a publisher. They are formatted and presented properly with very few errors, either in syntax or research... always something that agents and editors watch for. They are presented as the best the author can do. Monique works diligently with her writers and teaches them skills that make raw talent marketable, and micromanages her writers through every line. She helps each person develop an individual, fresh voice. I am always willing to read from Monique's author list."  Cherry Weiner, The Cherry Weiner Literary Agency

"As a consultant and series advisor for several publishers in both the trade and academic markets, I can attest to the care and personal attention that Monique offers her students and protégés. Working with her, and in conjunction with her able group of authors (and soon-to-be new or first time authors), has increased the breadth of opportunities for my interaction with the numerous publishers and inhouse editors that I represent. Together we have located several winning projects and I'm always eager to review any of the projects that Monique recommends. Her judgment has been sound and I look forward to working with her on additional new and exciting projects in the future."  Stan Wakefield, Leading Edge Press/SMW Productions, Inc.

Those who can--do. Those who can't--teach. Then there's Monique, who can and does and teaches. She knows how to write--good enough to have several books sold--and she's got the gift of patience. How she does all this while being so nice must mean she's doing what she loves. If you're ever lucky enough to get to know you, you're one of the blessed." Shannon Donnelly

"Monique Raphel High is a literary alchemist. By being able to expertly assess, guide and encourage a wide array of authors, she has created a modern-day salon that promotes each individual to accomplish their very best and beyond." Christine Adzich, Producer, Big Picture Productions

“Monique High is the fairy godmother of the literary world, making magic happen for writers around the globe. Like an angel on their shoulder, Monique works with writers to improve their work and create new business opportunities, helping them succeed beyond what they dared dream.” Stuart McFaul - President, Spiralgroup

"She's a dynamo! She has the energy and dedication so necessary these days to help her authors succeed in today's tough marketplace." Ellen Geiger, Frances Goldin Literary Agency
