Testimonials
Shelan Rodger, author
My novels, Twin Truths and Yellow Room, were lucky enough to meet Paul as acquisition editor at Cutting Edge Press. When it comes to books Paul is the most passionate and inspiring person I know. His insights, feedback and encouragement were invaluable and I have a deep admiration for him, both professionally and as a person. The journey to publication can be a rocky one, with Paul as part of the journey, those rocks will feel a whole lot softer!
Amanda Jennings, author.
Paul worked with me on my second book and I found his editorial advice both insightful and sensitive, and that he understood what I was trying to achieve. Importantly I feel that my book was greatly improved by his suggestions. At all times he was interested and engaged, and I know he put so much of himself into the book. I am grateful for his hard work, caring input and professionalism.

Paul was the editor of The Blackheath Seance Parlour. and walked me through the entire procedure with patience and enthusiasm. I didn't feel that I was asking too many questions , even though I probably was. From beginning to end he made the publishing process move along smoothly and quickly. He's a warm, funny, knowledgeable and sincere man, always on hand if you are unsure about something, with a wealth of experience to share and great fun at book launches and parties!

Oliver Keen, designer.
Paul has a wealth of experience and is passionate about his projects. He is fun and very engaging to work with. Having worked on a number of covers for him, both fiction and non-fiction, he demonstrates a very strong sense for a book's placement, but unlike some, is keen to refine and evolve ideas, which I've found creatively very satisfying.
Carrie Bush, author.
I used Paul's services for my Archangel series of books for children. From day one I felt very comfortable, and I knew I was in good hands. He knows his business inside out and was available to answer questions at any time - very important for me as a publishing novice! I most definitely will be using Paul on all my next projects. He is a true gent and now, a dear friend.
