I’ve been using Živa’s services for several years now. As a decidedly-low tech person, I need someone operating my web site who is both helpful and explains things at a basic level. Živa checks both of those boxes, plus she always provides a quick turnaround on any work that needs to be done. In several ways, she’s made the last several years much easier for me.

Živa is a magician when it comes to websites. I’d been struggling to re-do my ancient and blahish and dated blog, and then I found Živa. She rebuilt the blog from the first line down. It’s now a complete picture of me as a writer, teacher, novelist, poet. Forever grateful to Živa for her expertise and her speed. Often, when I needed an element added, she was on it, had it done in minutes and more often, she “knew” what I needed and did it. The result is a readable, flexible blog that has a great contemporary look and feel and is loaded with information that both promotes my work and encourages other writers to dig into the material that’s aimed at making good writing better…Thanks, Živa.

Bright. Dedicated. Honest. Creative.

That’s Ziva Gronostalski.

We’ve been working together for a year and a half. When I have a problem, Ziva has a solution. If I get flummoxed by the Web, Ziva bails me out.

She is remarkably patient with old people.

Ziva built my first website—robertjraywrites.com—the focus back then was Senior Tennis (spry old people 65 or older still hitting that little yellow ball)—and our goal was promoting my tennis prose—writing about senior tennis—which helped sell multiple copies of my tennis memoir, Play or Die: Senior Tennis and the Art of Spin.

Now we’re shifting from Senior Tennis to rewriting the novel—and Ziva’s agile brain re-positioned the website, making it ready for the new direction and a different (and much wider) audience.

Ziva is politic.

She is flexible.

She is quick, with a marvelous sense of humor.

And she understands the complex multi-layered approach needed for writers (some trained and schooled, others self-taught—avoiding school, counting on their talent, perfect targets for the False Novelistic Guru-Gods of the Internet).

These hopeful writers follow their own Holy Grail—but they still need guidance.

Without Ziva, that guidance would not exist.Ziva is amazing.
