If anyone has a passion for writing a book or memoir, Belinda is the person to assist you. She is helpful, understanding, very professional and always available to discuss any and every aspect. I cannot recommend Belinda more highly, and my experience working with her on my book has been a joy.

Many friends and customers had suggested I publish Isobel’s stories, but I had no idea where to start. Meeting Belinda was the beginning of an incredible project. I had my hands full on the farm and although I still had control over the project, essentially Belinda guided the process. Through her we engaged a local artist and a book designer, and it was a unique experience observing the team demonstrating its talents and expertise. There are many areas where one could come unstuck, including the printing process, media releases and the launch, but this was a fun and exciting project to be involved in. I’m looking forward to Volume 2!

Belinda’s ability to source the right people for the job, and then coordinate them as a group gave me total peace of mind. I knew that when I was focused on my contribution she was focused on the project as a whole, and kept if running smoothly and on time. Whenever there were issues or ideas to consider, Belinda was always able to determine the right course of action and therefore kept us all on track. I really appreciated Belinda’s professional attitude and experience, and enjoyed working with her immensely.
