"I've wanted this kind of help for so long, feeling if I could just talk through the sticking points with my story shape I would have something worth writing. For the first time in years I can relax and enjoy the writing instead of being stressed because I didn't know where the story was going. This has revolutionised my writing."
Jo Thomas
"I just wanted to send you a big big thank you for your wonderful workshop today. Noelle and Sarah were absolutely fantastic, as was your introduction. In just one day, I have come home armed with enough practical tools to get me started."
Suzanne, Start Writing Workshop
"I attended Beth Morrissey's 'Writing for the Web' workshop with an open mind as to what I might learn. Little did I know just what a Pandora's Box of opportunities and enjoyment I was opening!"
Barbara, Writing for the Web
"I would really like to thank you for the workshop on Saturday. It was a really well organised event delivered well. I was incredibly nervous going there and dreaded having to actually write anything for others to hear but I honestly enjoyed it. I will be trying my hand at this now and will definitely book for another course!"
Anne Marie
"Sarah is a truly excellent editor! I have worked with half a dozen in the past but no one has come even close to her standard of work."
Julia Kelly (My Lazy Eye)
"...great to be mentored by published writers and then able to share their experiences over a cup of tea and a wonderful meal. The course really improved my writing ability and provided me with the foundations required to finally write that elusive novel!"

"In this tough market for books, and for a first-time novelist especially, having access to Helen Falconer's skills at this stage could make the difference between getting published or not.
Kate Kerrigan (Ellis Island, City of Hope, MacMillan)
"Sarah was so engaged with the book from the outset, marked up the text extremely carefully, clearly and with great detail and above all she was fantastically encouraging about my efforts. She seems to have a genuine love of words so she makes an ideal reader for new work.
Julia (My Lazy Eye, Quercus)
"Helen Falconer is one of the best editors I have ever worked with. Her sharp eye for detail and her innate understanding of structure meant that employing her to work on my novel Ellis island was one of the best investments I have ever made as a writer. The novel has gone on to achieve great success."
Kate Kerrigan (Ellis Island, City of Hope, MacMillan)
