"I can't recommend Isla enough. Editing a memoir requires a special touch, and she was both professional and sensitive when it came to the more delicate topics in my story. She caught discrepancies I'd missed and her command of grammar and punctuation is outstanding. She was fast, reliable and a pleasure to work with."
I came to Isla knowing I could write but not knowing how I could turn that into a book. Isla has changed that. She has listened, encouraged, gently challenged and provided exactly the right support at each stage in my journey. I am not just a better writer because of it, I am more confident in who I am and the value I bring, because of her.

Isla's skill to niche my message has released my ink to flow. She encouraged a writing schedule to 'turn up' to write regularly, and suggested various helpful ways of collecting my ideas before putting pen to paper. Her patience and professionalism have given substance to my writing and a clear window going forward.

"Isla’s coaching and editing helped me focus on both the larger and smaller details when it came to my writing. Her constructive and good-humoured way helped me shape things well and kept me on the right path, out of the quagmire of unfocused ideas and lack of structure."
