MY ONE-STOP-SHOP RESOURCE
“​I found Louise through her incredibly useful blog. She has become my go-to resource for aspects of writing I know I should pay attention to but when the story is in full spate I sometimes neglect. Editing Fiction at Sentence Level is my one-stop-shop resource. Highly recommended.”
Andy Maslen, crime and thriller writer

GREAT ADVICE, AND ENTERTAINING TO BOOT
“​Picked up Editing Fiction at Sentence Level on Amazon to get some quality professional-development reading in during this period of increased couch time and absolutely loved it.”
Liv Sommerlot, Writer, editor and translator

THE AUTHOR'S VADE MECUM
“​As a tool for revision of a manuscript and self-editing, it is invaluable. My only concern is that Louise may be doing herself out of a job by revealing so many trade secrets.”
Philip Prowse, espionage author​

BRILLIANT!
“​How refreshing to read a book on the craft of writing without a single mention of Pride and Prejudice. The guidance is illustrated with examples from contemporary authors across a range of genres. I read it from beginning to end, but it also works perfectly as a reference into which you can dip as and when required ... Should be on every author's bookshelf or, better still, the edge of their desk.”
Chris Lofts, Amazon reviewer
