Recent comments on their mentoring include:
‘I think you’ve both given me some excellent points to think about, particularly with regard to tightening up the poems and perhaps even switching up the order. Joanna Nissel
‘David and Louise offer a wonderful critical and supportive service at a moderate price. They provide detailed appraisals with follow-up conversations and have considerably helped my progress in a challenging area.’ Jasmina Bolfek-Radovani
‘The appraisals from David and Louise were thoughtful and precise. Their feedback ranged from specific matters of craft to the broader question of how I might take my writing forward. They responded to the work on its own terms and even picked up on recurring motifs and concerns I hadn’t been aware of myself.’ Phil Baber
‘David’s critical appraisals are immeasurably helpful. His work
towards my first full collection was immensely useful.’ Jessica Mookherjee
‘David’s close and perceptive reading of each poem, help with ordering and sequencing my pamphlet collections, and support with my first full collection has been enormous. I thoroughly recommend his critical and mentoring services.’ Geraldine Clarkson
