Testimonials:
'Having Marcelle on my team is absolutely integral to our success. She is consistently taking initiative to take our projects a step further, streamline our processes a little extra, and, at the end of the day, keep our organisation running. She is always the first staff member to step up and take on new challenges, filling in gaps whenever something slips through the cracks. Her writing and editing skills are as superb as her diligence in these other areas. Marcelle is arguably my biggest asset as a business owner!' Juliette Sebock, Founding Editor, Nightingale & Sparrow
'The challenge for anyone acting as guest editor of a literary journal is to maintain its original vision while breathing new life and perspective into it. Marcelle walked this tightrope with grace and confidence. I am grateful for her attention to our wild journal and for bringing Issue 13 of Feral: A Journal of Poetry & Art into the world.' Beth Gordon, Managing Editor, Feral
