JM Agency were such a supportive, professional and creative team …
Thank you Jeremy and Parvathi for working tirelessly with me, as we brought Life Threads into the world …The most supportive, sensitively creative and collaborative of publishers.

After my beloved wife Lorraine sadly passed away, I emailed her final pre-edited manuscript (I Will Find You) to JM Agency and Jeremy immediately started to pick up the pieces and he did it with the utmost respect, compassion and sensitivity. Amanda did an exceptional job editing and copy-editing and thanks to Joanne’s expertise in proofreading the script. Crafting a cover design that encapsulated this story posed a significant challenge, but Parvathi mastered it beautifully and her design of the promotional material was exquisite. I wholeheartedly thank Jeremy and his team for creating this legacy that Lorraine would be most proud of.

Special thanks to the JM Agency team. Including Susan Lewando, Amanda J Evans and Joseph Youorski for their expert editing and advice, Parvathi Venkitaraman for her professional cover, and to Jeremy for steering the ship so expertly – they made it all possible. Having this team to work as a support was incredible because along the road I became overwhelmed and doubted myself, but the reassurances and gentle touch from this team allowed me to grow into my role – I’m officially an author!!

Jeremy, it was such a pleasure working with you. Your encouragement every step of the way is deeply appreciated. The cover design by Judith really brought my vision to life and the book interior by Parvathi was the icing on the cake. But it was your guidance and generosity of your time that pushed any hurdles that I may have been feeling aside….thank you soooo much Jeremy xxx
