Sally was the first person to read the manuscript of my first novel, Piece of My Heart.

Naturally I was very nervous and insecure about my work and about to throw in the towel.

Sally was immediately extremely encouraging and supportive, and she also gave me some really good notes.

We went through the whole book very thoroughly until we both felt it was in good enough shape to send out to London agents.

On the strength of Sally’s edit I was taken on by a top agent who quite quickly found a publisher for my book.

I am hugely grateful to Sally for both her practical and inspirational editorial guidance.
