If you want a partner on your project who is thoughtful and committed, call Anna.”

Novelist Jasmine Guillory recommending The Art of Ramona Quimby on the Today Show
“The Art of Ramona Quimby” captures the essence of the lovable rascal that is Ramona Quimby, while taking the reader on an entertaining visual journey through the series and through time. Katz’s book will be loved by those who already love Ramona, and is a good reminder to those who haven’t thought about her for a while that even at 65, she is still relevant.”
“The true pleasure of this retrospective is that it highlights key moments from the books, in chronological order, and compares the various illustrators’ ways of depicting them.”
“Though Ramona isn’t from any one particular time period, she has to feel real at the moment she’s being read, and to do that, even the smallest details have to ring true to her readers…As Katz points out, Ramona has always been reimagined to meet her world.”
“Anna is an incredibly talented writer who is easy to work with. She has the ability to listen with empathy and translate random thoughts into a cohesive story. You can describe a situation to her and she’ll quickly comprehend both the specific experience and the broader context, then write in a way that makes the scene come to life and illustrate the message you want to get across.”
““The edits are perfect. We LOVE everything you have done.” ”
“[Anna’s] smarts are matched by the fresh insights she brings to a topic, and her flexibility has always been essential in giving me the freedom to change course midstream on many pieces we collaborated on. She’s a perfectionist but - thankfully - never neurotic about it.” ”
“My work has greatly benefited from Anna’s creativity and thoughtfulness. Every CEO could use a great writer like Anna.”
