in woodland glades
leave it all behind
Curl your fingers around my hand and let me lead you away from this world of strife and care. Don’t worry about what you leave behind for I will put one of my changelings in your place to go to work and pay the bills. Nobody shall know that you are dancing naked around fairy fires in woodland glades. We will feast on salted mushrooms and the sweetest of berries and drink the nectar of forgetfulness. Come, Child, your time with accursed spreadsheets and interminable meetings is over … let us play!

Don’t be ridiculous! I am not the plaything of billionaires.

Ugh! Must I? Okay, if you want to know who I am whimsy-free, I shall oblige this once…

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
they say she is a witch!
And they’d be right.
Here are some things that have been said about me over the years.
“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!”
Steve denham
Author, Egyptian Alchemy Oracle & Enneagram Wisdom Oracle
“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.”
