'Shelagh was my first reader and is still the best. She has an editing instinct which is almost uncanny in its accuracy.' 
'Susmita is a generous reader and can pinpoint where work needs more precision on both the mechanics of the writing and also the story at large.'
'[Shelagh's] advice and inspiration were invaluable to me and I still try to be mindful of the rigour and care she brought to the craft of writing.'
