Testimonials
'I had never used a mentor before and was a little apprehensive. I needn't have worried. Dawn's method is to get you looking, really looking at your poems with a fresh eye. Working with Dawn was an enjoyable and enlightening process. I can honestly say that the poems I worked on with Dawn were greatly improved as a result of the two way street between us.'
Eileen Cameron
'Being a bit thin skinned I wanted 'kind' feedback which I feared I wouldn't trust but more importantly I wanted feedback that would help my writing which I feared would be hard to take. I didn't expect I could get both, however I did. Dawn's mentoring was of course intelligent, reflective, kindly and straight forward, which has been very helpful.'
Janet McClean
'Your critiquing and editing are superb and your attention to detail is such a strength, you have a bird's eye view of things, you notice the worms that others miss, so to speak. I found that really valuable. I felt you and I were in tune and your comments opened up areas that enabled the poems to move forward.'
