Jane ... 'is a brave and gentle supporter ...' 

---

Jane has been helping me with my writing for the last twelve months. I started my novel when I attended a fiction writer's course. I then got writer's block.
Jane has helped trigger the exploration of the characters in my work.. She asks what is happening with the characters, the plot and we are working on a first person narrative rather than third person. She also helped me discover the real protagonist.
These huge steps had stopped me from writing and I am now back in the flow thanks to Jane.
Her tutoring is gentle, sensible and affirming.
I am so glad I have this opportunity to run the work by her as it develops. She has an astute eye and every suggestion is from the reader's perspective and helps make the story more whole and readable.
The writing would be substantially different if it wasn't for her capacity to observe the gaps and make sound suggestions.
I recommend her skills to anyone who wishes to get on with their novel or memoir. She is a brave and gentle supporter of my writing and I feel I am in good and safe hands.

"Jane went above and beyond my expectations as a writing mentor. Jane guided, mentored and helped in every aspect of writing, right through to publication of my book The Wind at My Back.
"I cannot thank her enough for all of her help and writing wisdom. Jane is a true professional at what she does, not only a great writer herself but a wonderful person.
"I would recommend her to anyone who is undertaking the writing and publication of a book."

"When I first heard of the concept of a ghost writer, I thought it was going to be a very scary experience.  I am severely dyslexic and completely illiterate so using a ghostwriter made all the difference.
"Much to my delight working with Jane was anything but scary and completely delightful instead. People who know me and have read the book can see all my 'graemeisms' and can’t detect anything else.  That’s the brilliance of a true ghostwriter. 
"For people who are dyslexic or lacking the literacy skills required to make a book publishable, I would thoroughly recommend hiring a ghostwriter first and foremost. In my view ghostwriters are underrated and underutilised and while everyone knows about editors and publishers this was an entirely new concept to me, and many others who asked how the book got to where it is today.  I explained to them what a ghostwriter was and, as the name suggests, they remain invisible in writing the book that comes across as being mine.
"Jane had to sift her way through a tremendous amount of information, select what made the story good, and discard what might take away from it. She also probed for information to fill in the gaps and get us where we needed to be.
"Having a finished manuscript ready for final editing was most of the work. The ghostwriter put more work into it and probably had the hardest job of any of us but the results speak for themselves.
"Using ghostwriters would enable those less literate to publish their work when it wouldn’t have happened any other way. That’s why I wanted to honour Jane as being a co-author so that anyone who reads my book will be aware of her ghostwriting abilities and I hope will seek her help if they want to write a book.
"As someone said, 'if I can do it anyone can' but I most certainly couldn’t have without Jane."
