“I was matched with the wonderful Wendy Maddour, who was hugely encouraging and able to laser in on exactly what needed work. She advised me to further develop certain themes and lean into what made the book original. This advice transformed my manuscript. The following year, Little Mice won a writing competition, which led directly to a publishing contract – and this is in large part thanks to Wendy and TLC. I am forever grateful to them both, and I am hugely excited that my creation will be out in the world this autumn.”
