"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.

"If you have a dream of writing a book and want to make it a reality, then Isla is your lady. Isla is the most dedicated, skilful, helpful, very patient and lovely person and editor."

“Thank you for all your brilliant feedback. You’ve been so great and easy to work with.”

"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."

“You were a superstar on the entire process.”

“You have been so lovely to work with, I did appreciate your encouragement and positive guidance.”

“The moment Isla got involved I knew straight away that she was engaged with the whole process. Her feedback made it all less ominous and was very thorough.”
