TESTIMONIALS
Extremely informative, jam packed, every minute a gem of insight. Thank you Maria. Sidmouth workshop participant
"Your workshop was, for me, one of the best of the festival. It was so informative and entertaining and I've never seen attendees take so many notes!" Rachel Levy, events organiser, Bath Literature Festival
"Maria is a guiding light in the often baffling world of writing a book and getting it out there. She's supportive, straight-talking and extremely knowledgeable." Cat Cubie, author of Sleep better, baby
"I have to say the 1-2-1 session I had with Maria was the best thing I did on my publishing journey. I didn't have any experience of the industry but with Maria guiding me through the options I was able to make the right decision for my book and achieve my goals. I'm immensely grateful to Maria for her help." Lianna Stemp, author of Three Little Birds
"Maria's talk at Salisbury Arts Festival was both practical and inspiring. The long queue of people wanting to talk to her afterwards was a further testament to her skills."
Debbie Rigg, festival director
