Testimonials
We have collaborated with numerous authors, illustrators, editors and project managers over the years. Hear what they have to say about us in their own words:
Lily Ross, PRH UK
"I have worked with Guntaas on a number of projects and would highly recommend her. She approaches her work in a thorough, sensitive manner, taking into account both text and artwork and taking the time to do her own research to enrichen her comments. The feedback she provides is clear and incredibly insightful, and has really helped develop our books. She always delivers on time and is a delight to work with."
Jo Ross-Barrett, Inclusive Minds
"Guntaas is an outstanding member of the Inclusive Minds network. Her feedback is always very thorough and insightful, and she often goes the extra mile - providing prompt written responses (even at very short notice when needed), creating original art to support her illustration feedback, and answering detailed follow-up questions with a warm, friendly attitude. Guntaas is a pleasure to work with and has a genuine passion for making representation as authentic and inclusive as possible."
Melissa Mackey, PRH UK
"Guntaas reviewed some character artworks for a large series I'm working on. Her thoughtful and detailed feedback was invaluable in ensuring the accuracy of the artworks. Thank you, Guntaas!"
Natalie Jones, CILIP
"The Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Awards sought to work with Inclusive Minds' Inclusion Ambassadors to provide our judges with detailed feedback on our shortlisted titles to broaden their perspectives and inform their decision making. Guntaas' contributions to this process over the last two years have been incredibly rich and insightful. Guntaas demonstrated a broad understanding of representation in children's books as well as bringing personal insights to individual titles. The feedback provided was constructive, honest and well-informed, motivating important reflection and meaningful discussion among the Awards team."
Yaning Wu, UCL Publishers' Prize 2020
"As an organising team member of the 2020 UCL Publishers' Prize competition, Guntaas was a knowledgeable and warm presence to all contestants, providing them with ample guidance through the submission and judging process. Her literary and publishing expertise was evident through the way she edited and gave feedback on others' work. It was a pleasure to collaborate with her during this past year, and I would recommend her for any role without hesitation."
Tom Rawlinson, PRH UK
Guntaas did a fantastic reading of a lengthy young adult book for me. The report they submitted was detailed, thoughtful and brought up a number of important points and suggestions which we have now incorporated into the text. So an incredibly helpful and illuminating experience, and the report was also delivered punctually. Would absolutely recommend using Guntaas as a reader, and I'll be asking them for feedback again if the opportunity arises.
