TESTIMONIALS

“Working with Rowan as my editor has made my work clearer, stronger and sharper. After tidying up the format into a professional standard, they identified and helped remove several writing tics that I was completely unaware of. Rowan's edits are always backed up with a clear explanation or an example of how to raise the quality of the text.” ~ Terry Melia

“Rowan Fortune is a talented, sharp-eyed mentor who gives their honest opinion about a piece of writing. Rowan is the literary personal trainer I needed to get my novel into shape. When I edit I can still hear them pointing out clichés and exposition, and making frequent references to Proust! My second novel emerged out of a flash fiction piece they thought I could expand.” ~ Anjana Chowdhury

“Rowan adapted their approach to mentoring as I drafted and redrafted my manuscript. They regularly read my work in progress for clarity and grammatical accuracy and gave advice on its structure and flow. Rowan’s feedback was always constructive and insightful and this in turn gave me the confidence to discuss all aspects of the book with them and to ultimately finish it. I am now working on my second novel and I have asked Rowan to mentor me again.”  ~ Clare Hepworth-Wain
