I can’t recommend Tania highly enough. She was an absolutely brilliant colleague. She was embedded in the community for which she published, so had a great feel for the audience and was able to find writing talent before others, and make great relationships with authors. She was a compelling presenter of new ideas and always had the business case for each acquisition completely nailed. In addition to all this, and her tip top editorial standards, she’s a good laugh and an extremely decent human being.
Tania is your dream editor. I do question though if she’s human – or really angelic! Professional, intelligent, warm and astute. She rocks a wonderful lightness of being, answering all my wild and wacky questions as a first-time author. Show us your wings Tania!
In publishing, Tania’s editorial nous is top shelf. But more than just professional, she’s warm, caring and open. You feel heard, seen and valued. Tania is absolutely the best!
I initially met with Tania some 20 years ago when she reviewed a book that I’d written. I’d done lots of interviews but Tania had done thorough research (unlike most) and so we had an enjoyable and thought-provoking conversation, and I’m afraid I haven’t let her out of my sight since. Tania is intuitive, insightful and wise, qualities she wears lightly. She would be an asset to anyone she chose to work with.
She’s only after you for your money.
Field notes from a supernaturalist
I am the kind stepmother who scatters pebbles on the path to guide you home. I am the mermaid waiting at the shore to rescue you from drowning. I am the fae queen inviting you to the banquet lit by fireflies.
