When I first sent my manuscript, ‘Bits from the Pieces’, to Aurora House, I had expected professionalism and the usual commercial indifference. What I wasn’t expecting was the encouragement, patience and perfectionism during each step of the publishing procedure. I felt that I was dealing with friends rather than an industry and I am truly grateful to Linda Lycett and the brilliant staff at Aurora House for the pleasure of their company during my journey through to publication. ~ Georgette Noellat
