Kendra Burroughs, Editor
Shambhala Publications

“In the course of preparing a book manuscript I managed to fritter away hours simply trying to find out whom to contact for permissions. And in the end I had only frustration and anger to show for my time and energy. FreelancePermissions.com, however, quickly located the appropriate contacts, secured the necessary paperwork, and kept me informed every step of the way. They conduct themselves professionally, efficiently, and kindly. I give them my highest recommendation, without hesitation and without reservation.”
