Michael Simon, Ph.D.

Martin Casella is a fine writer with a keen sense of craft. I've seen his work on the page and the stage. Audiences may be provoked and touched, but they always have a sense they're in steady hands. He carries his sense of craft to his work guiding other writers: he looks at the larger picture, gives writers a sense of what they've accomplished, and guides them toward the next steps. When someone comes to me needing help with a play or screenplay, I refer them to Martin.

Kim Freeman

It was both a privilege and a pleasure to work with Martin. His creative energy and supportive skills made him a pleasure to work alongside. He is a perfectionist with a heart of gold, and that is very rare. He cares about everyone involved in his creative and investment circles, making everyone feel valued. His writing is genius and refreshing and his execution of projects is brilliant. Respectfully, Kimarie Manhart-Freeman
