Carolyn Barnabo

This memoir program lived up to its promise and more. I finished my memoir in the first week, instead of the last week. Then, somehow, I reviewed all 20 chapters and reduced 1M+ words to a mere 285K in a single ‘book’ document by the end of the course. AND I have a hook, plot points outline/table, query and synopsis. After twelve years working on my memoir, this was quite incredible!

Louisa is one of those rare writers who is always researching and searching for a better way to do things

State Library Victoria

Louisa worked on a massive website edit and re-structure for the State Library Victoria, one which was actually considered impossible due to the tight deadline and complexity of the project. Simplifying masses of complex web data and crafting hundreds of pages of web content, we met the deadline and now have a website that is in line with best practise for the millenium.

I have known Louisa for 14 years. She is an amazing writer and interviewer, uncannily perceptive with a gift for nuanced observation. That blended with her media and publishing industry savviness, makes her formidable. To top it all off, she is extraordinarily nice. Her research, subjects and little character bios [for a book] were flawless.
