What our clients say …

flexible with my ever-changing schedule

Adrienne was the editor for my PhD. I would definitely recommend her services. She was a pleasure to work with, especially being flexible with my ever-changing schedule. The editing work was excellent and the examiners of my PhD commented on the quality of narrative. I am sure Adrienne’s editing was a large reason for getting such positive feedback.

just a star

Adrienne is that quintessential gem of an editor who makes your best work just so much better. She edited my new Superintendent Le Fanu crime novel, and it was a revelation working on it with her. Every assumption, name, location and all the rest was checked and double-checked (should there be a hyphen in there, Adrienne?). The human style manual let nothing go by, but that wasn’t the end. Adrienne also came up with some crucial points about story and character development that really helped put things fully in line. So she made the book into what it is now. And, as they say on television, but wait, there’s more ...

Brian Stoddart, author of A Greater God, the fourth in the Le Fanu Crime Mysteries set in 1920s Madras, India.

Like stones, words are laborious and unforgiving, and the fitting of them together, like the fitting of stones, demands great patience and strength of purpose and particular skill.

NEW BOOK:
Sarah's Destiny (April 2025)
by Vicky Adin

Young Sarah Daniels is the heart, soul and future of The White Hart Inn on the Welsh Back. Alongside the quay and wharves on Bristol’s floating harbour, she dreams of finding love, and a destiny where she can escape the drudgery and tragedy that life usually delivers Victorian women. But dreams are free, and few share her ideals. When reality strikes, and Sarah learns the hard way that life is unkind, one man offers her hope. Through many decades of heart-aching loss, false promises and broken dreams, the young widow clings to that one hope. With six children to care for, she takes risks few others would consider. She breaks conventions and makes sacrifices to keep that hope alive.
