A bit about both: Dr Hisham steps beyond the traditional self-help, find success formulas and brings forth a book that offers a concise, yet extraordinarily thought-provoking approach to galvanize your path through life. This author brings his professional and personal commitment to this book and defines life dynamics that translate to every culture and country in the world.

Words from the author about TigerX:“My experience working with Maria as my editor was nothing short of a spectacular journey. What I enjoyed most was her passion that came across clearly in the phone calls and emails, plus her commitment to making me a better writer! Most of the major editing that occurred was actually a process of her challenging me to define core points in the text and expand on them. This was simultaneously occurring with challenges to remove/shorten parts of the text where she asked “Is this section really serving your message or distracting from it?” Identifying hot spots in the book, correcting tenses, creating better flow to my written words and making it impactful were all achieved eloquently by Maria. The thing that will make me use her services again and again though, is how she made me feel during the process, appreciated and challenged courteously to do better and better with guidance.  Thank you Maria, my next book manuscript is on its way to you.”

A bit about both: Sunni Overend takes us on a journey that could only happen to Apple March, a young woman kept at arm’s length from her true destiny – or so it always seems. This is a story of creative passion, love’s denial, and secrets that shape people and events. Our author has an engaging style that is at once light and appealing, yet captures the imagination and demands that “just one more chapter” be read.

Words from the author about TigerX:“Maria has been a lot of fun to work with, super accessible and very personable. As well as a providing a comprehensive nip-tuck proofread for my first novel, she has been endlessly generous with great insider tips. It’s been a pleasure! A wonderful overall experience.”

Author, March

A bit about both: Robyn Arrowsmith brings forward the wonderfully robust tale of romance in the midst of world war, romance that demanded a special kind dedication from the courageous women of Australia who followed their husbands and sweethearts to the USA. The trials endured by these brave women as they left their families and beloved homeland behind, journeyed across the Pacific in war ships meant for war-time cargo, and arrived in California ports to meet partners sometimes not seen since months prior to their departure are revealed with engaging skill by this author. Extensive interviews with war brides resulted in a book filled with quotes that put the reader truly ‘in the moment’ as these devoted women recall first meetings with the Yanks they grew to love, the difficult ocean crossing, and their attempts to integrate with their new home, the United States, without abandoning their heritage.

Many Australian war brides residing in the US still meet regionally and nationally to celebrate their lives and life choices.

Words from the author about TigerX:“Maria’s editing expertise was invaluable to me when preparing my first self-published book. Although I live in Australia, my non-fiction book includes stories of Australian women living in the USA and has a readership in both countries. Maria’s sensitive understanding of the cross-cultural nuances of language and expression was ‘spot-on’. Geographic distance made no difference to her availability and quick communication by email. Always professional in her guidance and constructive suggestions to improve the text, Maria’s enthusiasm and positive attitude were outstanding. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone publishing a book – she certainly made my journey a joyful one!”

Words from the author about TigerX:“The birthing process requires lots of effort – whether it be to a child or an idea. All artists understand that the creativity path is fraught with peril and, if wisdom smiles upon them, will accept, indeed seek, advice and strong guidance. Such advice and strong guidance came to me from Maria D’Marco whose careful criticism sustained and encouraged me with questions, suggestions, speedy responses and friendly support throughout my loving battle with words. Now, finally, after the blood, sweat and tears my yarns have their own life. Without hesitation I’d recommend your guidance to any fellow traveller. Thank you Maria.”

Words from the author about TigerX:“I had an amazing experience working with Maria. She took my sorry collection of scenes and long-running descriptions and transformed them into a cohesive narrative filled with drama and insight. She was patient, fair with criticism, and thorough in executing what was asked of her. As a first time novelist, I felt reassured working with her as her suggestions and thoughts provided trustworthy direction. I owe Maria a debt of gratitude for how she shepherded me through a very trying time of self-doubt.

To the most vulnerable of writers, passionate about your art, but believing it needs a little guidance to properly execute your vision, feel assured that by choosing Maria, you will have made a very sound decision.”
