TESTIMONIALS
"I can’t speak highly enough of Lauren’s editorial skills. She encouraged me through draft after draft of The One Memory of Flora Banks, until I had a book that worked. Lauren has a forensic eye for detail, brilliant instincts, and she’s absolutely lovely to work with: not only did I have a brilliant editor, but I also had a friend. I think the best thing about Lauren’s work is the way she can see what a book needs in a way that its author often can’t, and she is meticulous in her notes and encouraging in her feedback."
–Emily Barr, author of, most recently, THE ONE MEMORY OF FLORA BANKS (Penguin)
"I really enjoyed working with Lauren on my MARGE series; I thought she did a wonderful job. She has great instincts and can enhance a manuscript without changing the author's voice. She's a brilliant editor and a constant source of support."
–Isla Fisher, author of the MARGE IN CHARGE series (Piccadilly Press)
"Lauren’s insight and advice into my novel were invaluable.
She really understood the story, characters and themes within the book, and her suggestions got to the heart of the novel and helped to create a richer, fuller story.
She gave a detailed critique of the book, highlighted where she felt it could do with some work, and also why those changes would improve it.
When I started to implement her recommendations, characters were suddenly coming alive and jumping off the page.
Lauren has that invaluable ability of being able to spot those problems in a novel, which, when you read her comments, will have you thinking "Of course!”
From broad strokes that addressed the theme of the novel, through to more subtle changes that are hard to see when you are so close to the work, her eagle-eyed approach and perceptive comments helped on many levels.
If you are struggling with any aspect of your writing - or even if you aren’t - I’d have no hesitation in recommending working with Lauren."

Lauren has a knack for bringing out the best in authors. She has an eye for detail and will deftly unravel what is and isn't working in a story. Most of all, Lauren was always positive in her feedback and made collaborative working hugely enjoyable.
