It was outstanding - so thoughtfully structured, informative and enjoyable! It really opened my eyes to possibilities. I am so grateful. You really are such a professional and so inspiring.

I think that Linda's structure of the workshop was excellent. Very good writing prompts.

It was well organised, presented in a relaxed manner and was fun. There was a balance among prompts, writing time and opportunities for reading aloud (with no pressure in regard to this). Prompts and examples were well-selected for the time available as well as being incremental which was helpful for those of us who are new to writing.

The Flash Fiction workshop was a fantastic opportunity for me … the workshop itself was not only informative but challenged me to write differently. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Looking forward to the next one!

I found the workshop useful within the first ten minutes. A tip here, and a comment there made a huge difference. There was an encouraging atmosphere and no pressure to share writing on the day for those of us wanting to quietly sponge.

“Linda Martin is one of those people who can read a stodgy manuscript and know instantly how to make it better. She has astonishing insight and instinctively knows how to give a story wings. It was thrilling working with her as she gave me advice on how to fine-tune the characters, scenes and dialogue to hone my novel into one that – as it turns out — people are enjoying. Linda taught me a lot about writing and how less is more.” 
(Sally-Ann Jones, author)

“Working with Linda Martin has been one of the great pleasures of my writing life. Linda’s editing is intelligent and insightful, her attention to both detail and totality is never less than meticulous.  Most importantly,  she’s scrupulously sensitive to the author’s intention,  her editorial guidance invariably improving and enhancing voice and vision.”  
(Wendy James, author)

“‘Vigilant and discerning’: that’s how I summed up Linda Martin’s editorial attributes in a note of acknowledgement appended to one of my novels. She has skilfully edited two books of mine and I regard her as a consummate professional. Having done a fair bit of editing myself, I can be hard to please or impress when someone else works on a manuscript I’ve written; but Linda quickly earned my respect.”          
(Ian Reid, author)

“Linda Martin is a superb editor: always mindful of the larger vision of the fiction, yet eagle-eyed with detail and impeccably attuned to voice, she has a wonderful sense of humour which makes working with her pure joy.”
(Marion May Campbell, author)
