Testimonials
Caroline Hogg is the best editor I’ve ever worked with. She is an expert in the craft of what makes a compelling story and gives thoughtful, clever and thorough notes while taking care to honour the author’s voice and ideas. I have no doubt that my high review scores online are in large part due to Caroline’s work on my novels. I believe Caroline is the best in the business and I highly recommend her. Kirsty Greenwood, bestselling author of Yours Truly and The Love of My Afterlife
Caroline is a brilliant, insightful editor who guides writers from the earliest idea to a completed novel with thoughtful, detailed notes and a brilliant eye for what works – and what doesn’t! Rachael Lucas, author of The Telephone Box Library and the Applemore Bay series
Caroline is a first-class editor with spot-on instincts for story, character and concept. There’s no doubt that her feedback enhanced and polished my novel beyond the point to which I could take it on my own and that the finished book is greatly improved as a result. Her enthusiasm for my ideas and writing made working on the novel a joy and her suggestions were intelligent and intuitive. She’s also thoroughly lovely to work with! Tracy Rees, bestselling author of the Richard and Judy winner Amy Snow and The Rose Garden
Caroline is a brilliant editor: supportive, encouraging and perceptive, and will always hold a special place in my heart for commissioning The Last Telegram, the first of eight novels (so far) and the start of what’s been an amazing journey for me. She’s been by my side nearly all of the way and I never felt anything but the utmost confidence in her judgement and professionalism. Liz Trenow, author of The Last Telegram and The Poppy Factory
