Testimonials

“Anna's experience and practical approach meant that she was up and running immediately, and able to deliver to a high standard. As a manager already under pressure, it made a huge difference to me to be able to leave things in her capable hands.

“Importantly Anna also felt part of the team immediately, shared our values and was a pleasure to work with. Having crossed paths with Anna in her previous role at Sheffield City Council - one of our regional partners - I already had a lot of respect for Anna's work, and that respect has only been strengthened having worked more directly with her." 

– Lea Fountain, Associate Director of Communications at Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust

“Anna’s training was really helpful and packed full of useful advice. Her approach is very down-to-earth and she understands how many authors feel (overwhelmed, mystified, and panicked) at the prospect of marketing their work. She understands what goes into writing novels and what kinds of things authors are most likely to need help doing—her training is meaningful and tailored in this way.

“I’d add that I found the training useful as part of my writing process. I’m not a published novelist (yet), but thinking about branding and marketing as I’m writing my first book means that the two things can inform each other as I go along. In fact, writing my brand story inspired some of the imagery I’ll be using in the novel!”

– Michelle Matthews, Author

“Anna's course on branding and marketing was a fantastic dive into an area that many creatives struggle with. She breaks the subject down into small chunks that really helped me focus on the most effective ways to market my personal brand. I would definitely recommend training with Anna. It makes an intimidating subject less scary and I think all creatives will come away with some useful insights.”

“Anna’s training was informative, inclusive and engaging. I went away with a better understanding of what I wanted to do with my business and afterwards I couldn’t help but praise and recommend Anna to my colleagues and clients.”

– Hugh Mann Adamson, Film Producer

“I came to Anna's workshop as a new writer thinking I might be rather ahead of myself - learning about brand and marketing before I even had an agent, but I found it immensely helpful and interesting. 

“The exercises on brand were particularly useful to a developing writer because it helped me to focus, to think about the kind of writer I want to be. These are topics that creative people would often prefer not to think about but I really came away feeling that what I learned did feed back into the creative work itself, giving it clarity and direction.”
