Client Testimonials
Molly Kingsley, Campaigner, journalist, author and former lawyer
"I am a campaigner and author. I have bylines across most major newspapers in the UK (Telegraph, Mail, Express) as well as in a number of fringe publications (Spiked, The Critic etc). I’ve co-authored two books (The Children’s Inquiry, Pinter & Martin, 2022; The Accountability Deficit, UK Book Publishing, 2023). I’ve worked with Mike frequently in the last four years, often asking him to proof-read, edit and contribute to my writing. He has also written a number of standalone articles for the organisation I run.
I have found his writing to be powerful, fearless and articulate; and his editing and proofreading to be valuable, supportive and constructive. I am currently part way through my first work of fiction; I suspect I would not have found the will or motivation to carry on with it had it not been for Mike’s feedback and encouragement.
Mike is a fantastic person to have around and has an energy which I find both motivating and inspiring. He is a great asset to any individual or organisation looking for a motivated and committed writer and editor"
Bash Bashford, Author of "Addiction Isn't a Dirty Word" due for release during 2025
"Before working with Mike, I had employed and spent money on three editors and writers over the previous 18 months. The common denominator in all three was that the work was good, but some of my 'essence and energy' seemed to have been removed and replaced with something that wasn't mine. I've been working with Mike for some time now and EVERY WORD of my newly edited work seems nothing less than a 100% improvement on the existing writings. It also completely feels like all of my own energy and ideas have been crystallised during this edit.
Mike hosts a level of focus and intensity which has taken my work into a whole new and improved realm. I am, and will remain, forever grateful for the time and energy he has put into my current book. He always makes me feel seen, heard and valued while we work in what feels like 'sublime synchronicity'.
I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mike's unique and profound skills to another author. His talents and service are beyond words"
