It is my experience that Emily stewards her consulting business, Mental Temple,
with admirable integrity!

Emily Shurr has been extra helpful in her work for me—providing adept insights that support and nurture my own freaky mind. She has given me and my books-in-progress important help and support. I will call on her again in the not-too-distant future. I highly recommend her editing services.

I'm grateful for Emily's insightful, patient support. We re-worked my initial draft multiple times, crafted a winning proposal, and ultimately landed a deal with my first-choice publisher. My book is on the shelves and I'm giving talks and podcasts to promote it. Thanks for all your help.
