TESTIMONIALS | Foxkirk

What do other writers say?

Anna Foxkirk is quite simply the best in the business when it comes to author coaching and editing. Having spearheaded her own successful career as an indie author, she is well versed in initiating emerging authors into the complex world of self-publishing, and providing support and guidance that aligns with their specific goals and aspirations. As an editor, there is no-one whose eye is more keen, and the depth of her knowledge would be intimidating if she didn't share it so generously. Having worked with Anna, my own knowledge of grammar, punctuation and syntax has grown, as if by osmosis, purely from her kind editorial comments, which often come with an explanation of the 'why' of her suggestions. Anna approaches every project with her full commitment, unflappable attitude and unwavering humour, making her a joyful collaborator.

Anna is the best kind of editor for fiction. She has an eagle eye and spots everything that needs to be spotted, but she is sensitive to the nuance of voice and characterisation that needs to be allowed to shine. I trust Anna with my fiction.

STELLA QUINN,AUSTRALIAN RURAL ROMANCE AUTHOR

Anna was the visionary behind 12 Tropes of Christmas (a Christmas romcom anthology I was part of in 2024-2025) and took on the role of editorial director. Her feedback on each individual story and her skills at managing the entire editorial process, meant we delivered a well-written, well-curated, professional anthology. She has a keen eye, a firm, encouraging editorial hand and the ability to collaborate effectively to elevate every piece she works on. It was a pleasure working with Anna and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

SANDY BARKER,ESCAPIST ROMANCE AUTHOR

It was a delight to work with Anna on my manuscript. Not only did she fix errors in sentence structure or grammar, she also made practical and considered suggestions to enhance the story in word choice and dialogue. The suggestions smoothed the flow of the narrative and created a greater consistency for the reader while staying true to the original tone and style of the manuscript.

MEGAN MAYFAIR, ROMANCE AND COZY MYSTERY AUTHOR

I’ve known Anna through the writing community for a few years and had the opportunity to work with her as part of the 12 Tropes of Christmas anthology, published in 2024. Not only was Anna a fantastic anthology leader but she also took on the mammoth effort of editing our stories. Anna has a keen eye for detail on both a story and line level and her edits and suggestions took my story to a whole new level. I highly recommend Anna and her services to authors of all stages of their careers.

JODI GIBSON, AUTHOR AND PODCASTER

I've had the pleasure of working with Anna, and I am so grateful that I did! Her keen eye when editing my writing was exactly what I needed. Anna showed a commitment to shaping my work in a manner that was true to my characters and plot without sacrificing the heart of the story. She has been warm, professional and thoughtful in her feedback, which as a fiction author is always appreciated 😉 . Anna's knowledge of craft, editing and marketing means you'll be getting a wealth of expertise and experience that will really take your work to the next level.

IDA BRADY, ROMANCE AUTHOR
