What Our Authors Say

Shuaib Khan

"Having worked with Karen last summer, she gave me the creative freedom to fulfil a childhood dream. Karen was professional throughout but also took a personal approach to understand my needs and what the book meant to me. The entire process was seamless and we will be working together again very soon."
