Buffy is the best editor I’ve ever had. She has a laser sight for finding the beating heart at the centre of any unfocused early draft. I’ve hired her for both short story and novel excerpts and with both she was direct, gentle, insightful and precise. She has a way of breathing new life into stories that are stuck without interfering with the style and dignity of the work. I always come away from her notes re-energized and newly in love with the writing process.
