TESTIMONIALS

*Caleb Brabham, author of Godthread

"Laura is phenomenal. Her communication was consistent and uplifting - her edits were kind as well as informed. She grasped the concept of my niche genre work easily and added greater depth to it. I don't think I've met a better communicator. I look forward to working with her again."

*Stephanie E, author of The Clear Case

"Working with Laura was a dream. I've always wanted to work with a skilled and qualified editor, and she is that and more! She helped me make my book the best it could be."

*Elizabeth Macneal, author of Sunday Times bestselling novels The Doll Factory and Circus of Wonders:

“Laura was absolutely pivotal to the development on my writing, and I do not believe I could have conceived of, or written, my novel without her support, guidance and advice.”

*Matilde Pratesi, shortlisted for the Caledonia Novel Award for Pig

“My self-confidence has grown as much as the quality of my writing during this process. I can finally call myself a writer without blushing!”

*Sarah A. Denzil, million-selling crime fiction author of Find Her and Little One:

“I really enjoyed working with Laura. In particular, I enjoyed our Zoom call to discuss the direction of the book. I was at a point where I was stuck and wasn't sure how to fix the plot holes in the book. Talking it through with Laura really helped me get out of that issue. Many thanks, Laura!”
