What People Say

“Claire’s experience and skills as both an editor and designer made the experience of bringing a draft manuscript to publication remarkably and unexpectedly enjoyable. What could have been a challenging process was made smooth and straightforward by Claire’s deep knowledge and thorough, patient and professional approach. Claire read and considered every word of my book, made sensible suggestions for improvement and enhanced the flow of my writing. In terms of design, her layout was beautiful. She created quirky and memorable ideas for the cover and guided me through the myriad of choices in style, colour, theme and all manner of other aspects of design. Working with Claire was a joy and I would highly recommend engaging with her for editing, proofreading, layout and design work.”
