Here are just a few comments from some with whom I have worked:

• It is great to work with someone who is so professional. David W.

• I wish I had requested your services instead of waiting so long! CS.

• I particularly wish to praise my literary agent, Dr Geoff Haw, for his fervent collaboration and invaluable contribution to the development of the book. I have learnt a lot about writing from him. Since recreating this novel, I have gained an immeasurable boost to my self-esteem and confidence. TB.

• It is money well spent to get such a professional job. CB.

• My family love the book, especially the grandkids! CL.

• I must congratulate you on your book which I have just completed reading. I can’t tell you how much it has entertained me. As we get older, we love to hear of the past. DA.

• Geoff, of course I’m thrilled to see my own book of life stories. But I must say I am also impressed with the superb quality of the paper and cover – better than most books I see usually. It’s a real pro job.

• The book has been wonderfully well received and it has been amazing the contacts and memories people have told me about. Nearly all the books have been sold or given away. It’s been amazing! EW.

• I’m now a published writer! I feel such joy and jubilation! It’s been a while coming, but gee whizz, it’s an exhilarating feeling. I feel greats, doing book signings of my own book… Wow! And I’m not even famous – yet!!! JM.

• It is all too rare that such a book comes along … the homespun feel about it brought enjoyment of the stories. TBB.

• I love your publication because it is not too long, and it has lots of very relevant, interesting and informative information and pictures. HA.

• Many many many thanks, Geoff. Now I have a good record of the family’s doings. Thanks for your help and patience. JT.

• I am blown away by the personal investment and interest you have shown in me to get me on track with my memoirs. I have valued every word you said to me. DLC.

• Geoff, I think you are amazing!!! You certainly know how to put someone’s mind at ease. Thank you – I’m so glad I found your name in the paper. DD.

• Looks fantastic! Thank you very much. Appreciate all your effort and time. It has been great working with you. BS.

• That’s awesome!!! I am excited and relieved because I realise my efforts were not getting me anywhere! It is great to have someone to help! VF.

• I just read through the draft and it looks fantastic! Thanks so much again. It’s all very exciting for me! LM.

• I consider your publication Education for the 21st Century in the Asia-Pacific Region to be the best report of proceedings that I have yet seen … it will long resonate with educators across the Asia-Pacific Region. Don T
