“As a writer herself and as a superbly perceptive writing skills coach Shymala has been a source of electric inspiration to me - encouraging, constructive and practical. She taught me how to have fun with my writing. Her approach has been transformational.” Terence Alan Pritchard, Executive Coach
"Shymala goes over your work, teasing out little issues that can grow into larger problems when taken as a whole while also pointing out where you excel. She gives in-depth and detailed feedback, ensuring your writing is the best it can be. I've worked with her twice on two different books and I couldn't be happier. She helped make my novels shine." Samuel Joseph, Writer and Videographer
“…to Shymala Dason, who repaired a broken link and fitted Annie for running shoes (in the novel Bristol House).” Bestselling author Beverly Swerling
