Testimonials
Gabe Robinson was my editor at HarperCollins for the novels Ghost Country and Deep Sky. His guidance and insight, ranging from story structure to specific details, were critical in shaping both of these books. I'm very glad I got the chance to work with him.

Gabe Robinson was the perfect editor for my book. He was able to see the same book I saw, and helped me rediscover elements of the story I'd intended but neglected. His insight and guidance helped to make my book publishable. I cannot give him enough credit for its success, and cannot truly sum up what a pleasure it was working with him. If I live to write a million words, I want him to make sure they're the right ones.

In editing my novel Under The Mercy Trees for HarperCollins, Gabe Robinson understood the book I intended to write and helped me get it there. His instincts about what I needed to pull forward and what I needed to let go were spot on–every edit he suggested made the book better. He delivered his suggestions gently and professionally, was always available as a sounding board as I worked my way through the revision process, and I could not have had a stronger advocate for the book in-house. It was a privilege to work with such a fine editor.

More than anything, I need an editor I can trust to tell me whether what I think is on the page and in the story is really there, whether it’s worth being there at all and, if not, to guide me toward what should be in its place. Gabe Robinson is that editor.

Gabe was the editor for my novel, Brains: A Zombie Memoir. He saw elements in the book that I didn't. His suggestions deepened the book's theme, expanded on the plot, and strengthened characters. The book is filled with cultural references and jokes, and Gabe got them, showing his wide-ranging knowledge of literature and Americana. In short, Gabe did everything a great editor does—and he did it with humor, grace, and incredible generosity.

It's easy to become frustrated by the whole writing-editing-rewriting process, but Gabe made it so much easier! His notes were spot-on, helping me address writing issues and making suggestions that only made my book better. I couldn't have asked for a better editor!
