'Annette Hansen has provided both Temple House and Sid Harta Publishers with editing and assessment services over recent years. As publisher, I have always found Annette's literary opinions to be of the highest professional standard, objective and supportive, particularly when dealing with new authors.
I have no hesitation in recommending Annette's editing services'

'As a painter, I communicate better with images than with words, so I enlisted Annette Hansen to help me create a statement to express my ideas to accompany my paintings. I compiled notes about the theories and ideas fundamental to my work. Annette composed these ideas into a brilliant Artist Statement, helpfully accompanied by her editing notes.
I am very happy with the end result and feel it has improved my communication with my audience. I believe it has contributed to the successful outcome of my most recent exhibition.
I would highly recommend Annette for any writing jobs. I always found her to be friendly, helpful and professional, with great rates!'

'Sandra Slatter's account of fighting cancer is a very powerful read (Shadows & Light, edited by Annette Hansen). I was also impressed with the writing. I am interested to learn more about the publisher. The book seems well edited.'

'Annette has edited two full length manuscripts for me and I have learnt so much from her. I've learnt about some of the grammatical and spelling errors writers often make and have been given some really great insights into how my stories can be made sharper and more interesting to the reader. Annette does this in a way which does not intimidate or confuse; instead highlighting what is good about my writing and how it can be improved. Annette works with you so that you can work together as writer and editor to improve your work, and it's an educational journey. Her help and words of encouragement have been invaluable to me and I would recommend her wholeheartedly'

'I found manuscript assessments done by Annette Hansen to be professional in their structure and content. Her criticisms are appropriate and fair and do not indicate any bias on her part with regards to both the story and the manner in which I had told it. I find them helpful and instructive.
She has edited two fiction manuscripts for me. In both cases, her editing was kind to the tale I was telling and appropriate. Working with her is easy and rewarding because of her professionalism, and I have no qualms about recommending her to any author of fiction'
