"I am a novelist, author of nine novels, and a professor at the Gallatin

School at New York University. Last summer I taught an online writing class

for Litreactor titled "Beginning Your Novel." Mark was my supervisor,

mentor and guardian angel. He was a joy to work with, smart, patient,

helpful, and friendly. Whenever I had a question (which was often), he not

only got back to me quickly, he provided clear, direct, useful answers. He

is very smart and very nice, a combination that isn't as common as one

would like.

I cannot recommend him too highly. I am sorry I won't be working with him

again next year, but I wish him great success". -Christopher Bram

"My LitReactor experience was a fine one, and that was in large part

because Mark made it so painless for me. I'm not terribly computer-savvy,

but Mark eased me into the swing of things immediately and whenever I did

come up against a problem, technical or otherwise, he guided me through and

solved it for me with dispatch. His advice to me was always direct and

totally to the point. I'd worked with him before on my workshop for The

Cult, so I trusted him to give me hand if and when I needed it, and knowing

that he was going to be my backup-man for LitReactor was one of the reasons

I said yes to the project in the first place.

That he also happens to be a balanced critic in his own right, and a

pleasure to communicate with, is a bonus. I recommend him heartily". --
