A few testimonials…
"I couldn't have published my debut short story collection, The Secret History of My Hometown, without John's self-publishing expertise. From manuscript presentation and typesetting to working with Amazon and Ingramspark, John's help was professional, error-free and totally invaluable. What also helped me was John's own experience as an author—he understood what I needed and guided me through each step, leaving me time to work on my next writing project. I'd absolutely work with John again."
— Andrew Boden, Fiction Author
“We rely on John for all of our comms work from web copy to blog posts to newsletters. He has a strong talent for weaving words together in a way that really grabs the reader. John would be a huge asset for any project or team that brings him on board.”
— John Bell, Director, The Conciliators Guild
“I’m trying to write a book but I’m not a natural writer. Fortunately, I have John as a writing coach and collaborator. He has the words and insights that I lack and need. He’s dependable, flexible and quite indispensable. I recommend him for anyone requiring help with their manuscript.”
— Olaf Upton, Chester, England
“We hired John to craft a long biographical writeup for a famous Group of Seven artist that we’re featuring, and which also required considerable research. His professionalism, skill and willingness to accommodate our needs were all top notch. I couldn’t recommend him more.”
— James Rotman, James Rottman Fine Art
John edited the draft copy of my new website. I'm a healthcare practitioner and he right away understood the correct tone and wording I required for my particular field. He also made a lot of really useful business-related suggestions where the wording and structure of my website were concerned. I’m completely satisfied and would work with him again in a heartbeat.
