"It's a scary time for writers when we hand over a manuscript to a publisher. Will our work be enhanced or diminished? Having worked with Taryn for many years I have no fears about the superbly professional and reader-friendly end product. Taryn and her team are a pleasure to work with. They work at warp speed but their attention to detail is forensic.

Every aspect of the publishing process and marketing is of the highest quality. Taryn's clients benefit from her owning and running three media-related companies. These companies and teams of freelancers complement each other and Taryn is a highly talented writer and digital marketer in her own right.

I love our collaborations and hope they continue for many years."

"I've come to know Taryn Johnston as not only a publisher but a caring and compassionate person who makes any author feel that she or he is important. As a first-time published author, I spent many a night doubting myself but Taryn was always there to offer advice, encourage, motivate and sometimes simply listen. She's a stickler for detail. When we received the proof copy from the printer, I thought it looked superb, but Taryn picked up that the left margin was two millimetres wider than the other!

I cannot recommend her highly enough. In this day and age where it's very difficult, often impossible to find a publisher who is approachable, Taryn is the exception to the rule. She is passionate about her work and goes out of her way to assist her authors. No wonder she is highly appreciated and respected by each and every one of her authors.

Taryn always refers to a book as 'our' book, and that is exactly what sets her apart, she is committed and totally involved in your project.

I am thrilled that she deemed my books worthy of publishing and I thank my lucky stars that I landed next to her at a networking event!"

"I’m pretty sure my first novel would never have been published without Taryn’s help. From our first conversation, she encouraged me to make the story the best it could be. Her support and advice has been invaluable.

Taryn is quick to see potential, but she also knows instinctively when something doesn’t work. Reading through tricky parts of the manuscript and hearing her thoughts, let me improve the writing and allow the story to flow. She is an excellent critic with an eye for details - especially the ones you hoped nobody would notice!

Sometimes brutally honest, but always constructive, Taryn has urged me to keep going and strive to be a better writer. She is funny, as well as supportive, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the industry. I am hugely grateful for everything she does and so glad she agreed to take me on."

"I’ve worked with Taryn for over 10 years. She has been very proactive and provided sound but also interesting marketing advice for my financial services business, which is considered a ‘boring’ industry by many.

Her attention to detail is impressive and she always keeps to deadlines.

I cannot recommend Taryn highly enough."

"Having never written a book before, where to start with publishing it? I was put in touch with Taryn, who quickly and ably took me through the process, options, considerations and actions. This allowed me thinking time and choice. Helped me determine to go the self publishing route or through Taryn.

Right throughout the process I was supported and at any time I could check in and question things. I was able to get feedback, input and challenge which was always helpful. Taryn’s editing allowed me to keep on track and reflect on my writing and content.

Taryn was able to take the publishing process away from me which allowed me to focus on and finish the writing without distraction. Without her the process would have been much more drawn out and cumbersome.

The bones of a second book are formulating, will happily return to Taryn’s safe pair of publishing hands!"

"I have worked with lots of publishers and editors over the course of my 30 books but none have lived up to the great experience I had working with Taryn.

Taryn is personable, forgiving and an expert in her field and I do not hesitate in recommending her services to budding and experienced authors alike."

"Taryn believed in the book when many others didn’t. She was enthusiastic from the start, progressed it smoothly to a final manuscript and then a published book.

All with a personal touch, making me feel a valued partner not just another aspiring author. I recommend Taryn very highly."

"Taryn is fabulous at what she does. Her knowledge and expertise is incredible.

I would highly recommend her to everyone."
