‘John Murray critiqued a late draft of my first novel, Hide & Seek. Working from John’s criticisms I made radical changes, slashed 8,000 words, re-imagined characters, saw what worked and did more of it. Hide & Seek, published in 2005, translated into a dozen languages, got great reviews, became a New York Times editor‘s choice. John’s fiction surgeries are an education in writing’
