TESTIMONIALS

“Edwina Shaw is the kind of editor you hope to find: caring and nurturing, but also frank and bold. She challenges you on structure and logic, helping you to create a tighter, cleaner plot, while also honing in on those grammatical oversights and inevitable typos. Her technical and craft knowledge result in an holistic and detailed assessment of your manuscript that leaves you inspired to tackle that dreaded rewrite.”

Azra Algaic, author of Not Like My Mother 

“I was delighted to discover that Edwina’s talented professional editing services not only improved the quality of my book, but also subtly taught me things about how I write and how to improve in the future.  I really valued the extra questions she would pose that made me dig deeper and expand what I had written. She added the zing to my book.”

Sonja Bernhardt OAM, author of Girls Do IT Too!
