Client Testimonials

Ashley Woo, author of Wildwood

“Working with Laura was everything I hoped it would be. She was professional, empathetic and absolutely lovely to work with throughout the process. But most importantly, she provided the exact feedback my book needed. I knew parts of it needed work, though, after countless revisions myself, felt I had exhausted my ability to solve these particular elements. Laura zeroed in on these and provided the right type of observations and suggestions that allowed me to edit the book in ways that worked brilliantly and still in line with my vision of the story. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!”

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!”

May Ngo, writer, and critic

“I like the mix of the recognition that we live in a capitalist society where we do have to be ‘productive’ and get things done in order to survive, including writing for economic reasons; but at the same time, always with an eye on the real prize: on what can truly nourish us and on why we really write. This is a rare combination.”

Elizabeth Macneal, author of The Doll Factory

“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.”

Caleb Brabham, author of Godthread: A Noir

"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."

Kate Simants, Bath Novel Prize-winning author of A Ruined Girl

“As an editor, Laura was indefatigable: I came away from every meeting knowing that she had read and thoroughly considered every submission and was taking a sincere interest in helping me make my novel the best it could be. Her communication and professionalism were second to none, and I credit her in no small way for helping me to secure an excellent literary agent.”

Lunga Izata, author of No Books Allowed

“It takes a special person to use their gift to support others' dreams.”
