'James has a true eye for editing. He can see the potential of your work, handling it with care and changing only what needs to be changed.
A piece that he edited was my first publication in Gutter, one of the country's top poetry magazines.'
"James Appleby edited my literal translation of Classical Chinese poetry into a piece of English worthy of publication in a top UK literary magazine. He is sensitive to cultural and linguistic nuance and I recommend him to any client.'
