Jeani Rector is a great ezine editor because she strives to be a positive part of the writing and reading community. Many times, she's alerted her followers to scams which would be costly and cause writers to lose copyright of their own work. In The Horror Zine she offers tools for writers as well as help from big name professional such as Joe R. Lansdale. Not to mention free exposure of our work to thousands of readers.

Jeani Rector has taken the time to help me and many other writers become better at our craft. I have found her sincere assistance to be a unique gift in an often indifferent editing culture.
