With Wanda’s notes, I have redrafted the entire first section of my first novel, and it is this version that is now being read (at their request) by Faber, Macmillan and Scholastic.

She left me feeling motivated, confident and energised.”
Dr Nicole Gehl
I have been working as a rather ancient but fledging writer with Wanda for well over two years now. I have found her advice wise, very perceptive, and inspirational. She knows books and writers like no-one else I have met (and I have tried a few!). Most of all she has great patience and a generous heart.”
Persephone Arbour
I’m always alone with writing. For years no one reads a manuscript. Then it’s sent out and the nos come in. No No No. Just no, with no explanation. Already I’m unsure about my writing and the nos add to my insecurity. Here Wanda comes in. Finally an ally. Wanda immediately comes up with ways to make the manuscript work. The critical, honest feedback inspires me. I move on. I love working with Wanda.”
