Testimonials:

'Working with Julia was, without a doubt, the highlight of publishing my book. She was present, connected and supportive of the needs of the publisher, the reader and me. I appreciated the depth of experience and expertise she brought to the editing process, but also that she approached it as a true collaboration; my voice and opinion counted, despite being a first-time author. Working with Julia gave me huge confidence in my writing and she made me feel creatively safe enough to take her thoughtful feedback and turn it into tangible improvement. I learned a lot from her about how to appraise my work as a reader, not a writer, and this has definitely helped me develop my writing. I can't recommend her highly enough; I can’t thank her enough; and I wish I could write more books just so I could work with her again soon.'

Suzanne Alderson, Founder and Chair of charity Parenting Mental Health and author of Never Let Go

'Julia was my editor when I wrote my first book and I had no idea how it all worked. She was incredibly helpful and was always brilliant at returning my calls and guiding me through the whole process.'

Clare Byam-Cook, breastfeeding expert and bestselling author of What to Expect When You’re Breastfeeding... and What If You Can’t?

'Julia was a huge help to me and really had an incredible perspective. Her ability to step back and help me see the bigger picture in terms of the flow of the book and the reader experience was invaluable! Inevitably when you're in writing mode it's easy to get bogged down and lose sight of the journey you're taking the reader on so Julia was a wonderful partner in this regard. I'd highly recommend her to any author looking for honest and constructive feedback which is sure to take your book to the next level.'

Laura Earnshaw, founder of and author of My Happy Mind

'Julia has been a consistent inspirational support throughout my writing career. Without her I would never have got the job done. Never have I met anyone that can get things done properly in such little time.'
