"I worked with Peter on both a manuscript and screenplay, and he has been nothing short of a magician in helping me bring my narrative and vision to life. Peter read every word of my manuscript and screenplay carefully before bringing to the table his wealth of knowledge in a way that guided me in evolving both to their full potential. Peter has consistently encouraged and challenged me to step outside my comfort zone and push my narrative to the next level. He never once treated me as 'just another client' or 'another aspiring author', and through this process, Peter has become a dear friend. I couldn't be more grateful to have had him by my side throughout this journey."

"I recently asked Fortiter et Recte Literary to help me draft a back cover blurb and author bio for my upcoming novel. Peter was quick to respond to my email, asking me detailed questions to confirm what I was hoping for from his services. He was always polite, professional, and a pleasure to work with. His skill with language and experience within the publishing/literary industry meant that not only did he deliver a high-quality product, but the turn-around was unbelievably quick. The end result was better than I could have hoped for. I will definitely reach out to Peter again in the future. "
