“I have no doubt that the fact that my young adult novel Sharkey’s Son won the Sanlam/Tafelberg Gold Award, and continues to sell extremely well, is owing to Fiona’s editing skills. She deeply impacted my plot and characterization – and unerringly pointed out the weak or boring spots.”
Gillian D’Achada, author of Sharkey’s Son, winner of the Sanlam Award for Youth Fiction, published by Tafelberg Press
“Where something was unclear, out of character, anachronistic, unexplained or simply seemed odd and needed clarification, Fiona pointed this out which forced me to make it better. Overall, the book is undoubtedly much improved from Fiona’s involvement and I would be delighted to work with her in the future.”
Les Cowan, author of the David Hidalgo crime series published by Lion Fiction
“I came to Fiona with a saggy story arc, muddled characterisations and a protagonist who fell short of the mark. Fiona’s insightful critique, informed by her years of experience as an author and writing teacher, challenged me to write a better story that has resulted in an offer for a publishing contract. I am indebted to her.”
Steve Holloway, author of Pelagia, a SF thriller.
