“On a very rare occasion, we get the chance to work with a professional whose natural talents are perfectly suited to their work. Such was my luck in getting to work with Daniel Lichterman. He is an ideal writing coach, bringing extensive experience, infectious enthusiasm, and penetrating insight to his work.
With Dan, you get more than a proofreader, an editor, or a commentator; you get a teacher and guide. And, like with many of the great teachers I have known in my life, Dan possesses an uncanny ability to foster real understanding and growth. Working side-by-side with Dan did more than improve the quality of the specific project at hand, it elevated my overall composition skills on all subsequent projects. I cannot recommend Mr. Lichterman highly enough.”
"My son immediately felt comfortable with Dan, and looked forward to his weekly sessions. Dan's approach is practical and the results were obvious and relatively quick to see - his teacher commented how much his writing had improved, and we as parents could easily tell how much more 'juicy' his writing had become! Dan was always on time, his communication with us was clear and timely, and he was always very professional. He even put up with our dog, who adored him and wouldn't get off his lap during the sessions."
