PULITZER PRIZE WINNER JOSEPH J. ELLIS ON TIM OGLINE’S BEN FRANKLIN FOR BEGINNERS: “As the song says, most American youngsters ‘don’t know much about history.’ Indeed there is an epidemic of historical illiteracy out there in our public schools fully as troubling as the more publicized deficiencies in math and science. Tim Ogline's beguiling book on Ben Franklin represents a kind of verbal vaccine that will address this national illness, giving us a Franklin that kids will find accessible and, as they would say, ‘awesome,’ while mature scholars will attest is the genuine article.”

“Tim was an amazing partner for the Enrollment division at Gwynedd Mercy University! He and his design/writing partner had the task of freshening our web pages to be more attractive to prospective students. Tim's creativity had no limits, but more importantly he was a tremendous listener who really sought to understand the culture of our institution and what our goals were for the project. He did not offer a ‘canned’ product. He was excellent with achieving timelines and working with the various University constituencies. The result was a fabulous contemporary design that the admissions team loved!”
Cheryl Lynn Horsey, PhD, Gwynedd Mercy University
“Tim is one of the most versatile, focused and inventive artists I’ve ever worked with. One minute he’s turning in delightfully creepy pen & ink drawings for my supernatural folklore books and the next he’s designing the website for The Wild River Review, an amazing online literary magazine. Tim is always fresh and always surprising. Highly recommended!”
