“I have known Don Vasicek for over 5 years. He worked with
me on my book, “Me Jane, Not You!” During our time working together,
he has mentored and tutored me on how to write effectively.
Detail, format, genre and structure oriented, he pushed me to my
mental limits.

“It resulted in becoming an accomplished writer, both fiction and non-fiction.
“Me Jane, Not You!”, an auto-biography, is now completed. He is presently
working with me on my novel, “The Flying Dutchman.”

“I highly recommend Don as a writer, a tutor, and a mentor.
His professionalism is only transcended by his keenness of
mind to serve his client in order to go the highest level with
their writing.

“He is simply the best and loves what he’s doing.”

“Hello Don,

“My name is Norman and I’m a published South African writer who is attempting to make the transition into screenwriting. I wanted to drop you a mail to thank you for the wealth of information and knowledge that I’ve gained from your website. I’ve read everything from Syd Field, David Trottier and Chris Vogler and even though they teach you the basics of structure and story telling, there are so many gaps that I’m only now learning, thanks to you.

“Even though I may never afford your script services, what you offer for free has made me feel that I’ve somehow cheated you out of a service that everyone else charges for. I’m recommending your site to everyone I come across.”

Thank you again.”
-Norman.

“Thank you, Don, for your very quick response, and for your advice. The teacher worked in the industry years ago, so I was thinking she may be a little out of touch perhaps. Your comments were very helpful.”
-Ingrid

“The Sand Creek Massacre was just one incident from the centuries-long genocide of the native peoples in America. And, it continues to this day. We commend Don Vasicek for his work in accurately documenting this historical event and for his work to bring attention to the atrocities that have and continue to face this entire race of people in America.”

“Wow-Thank you Don! I was a little apprehensive of getting an answer, but your timeliness, knowledge and genuine concern blew away the lack of expectation. I had room for a full blown expectation and would still have been well-serviced! I will certainly follow up with you. I’m considering, as a gift for my dad, having it typed in computer format, professional graphics, and one of your packages. Thanks for the direction and encouragement.”
-Lucy

“Thanks Don!”

Dear Don,

“I just viewed your powerful documentary, The Sand Creek Massacre.
I can’t get the words out of my mind, question to Chivington from
a soldier: “Should we kill the children?” answer, “Nits make lice.”

“This horror needs to be exposed. I am so honored that you sent this
to me. We are meeting this Monday evening and I will make the
proposal for a film festival. I want this to be first on the list.
Meanwhile, I will circulate this to our members for review over
the weekend.

“I profoundly feel that this information has terrific relevance for
today.

“We can’t let this continue to slide!

“Again, I am so honored. I thank you so much.
