Reviews for The Red Arrows: The Official Story (Century/Penguin)
‘A wild ride . . . The ultimate insider guide, relating with great enthusiasm and insight what it means to be inside the cockpit as you scream through the skies at 350 to 450 miles per hour, within what feels like touching distance of your wingman, making continual nanosecond decisions that will result in certain death if you get them wrong.’ TELEGRAPH, Patrick Bishop
‘An exhilarating read! The next-best thing to taking the controls of a Hawk fast-jet. And you’re much less likely to throw up.’ BEN MILLER
Shirley Patton – Head of Publishing at ITV:
‘Working to an extremely tight deadline, Emma managed to deliver an outstanding result on a book that I licensed. Not only did she research the subject areas brilliantly, she also liaised with the various stakeholders to turn a TV brand into an engaging read that everyone was delighted with. Emma’s editorial expertise was invaluable in the smooth running of the project and I found her a pleasure to work with.’
Jon Butler – Managing Director at Quercus:
‘Emma is a class act: a safe pair of hands editorially, but with the flair, added nous and market knowledge you would expect from someone who has worked at the highest level both in- and out of house. She has turned around two rushed projects at the highest level and I would thoroughly recommend her.’
Cindy Chan – Non-fiction Commissioning Editor at Pan Macmillan:
‘Emma managed and edited a very time-sensitive project for me and did it with excellent results. She is a pleasure to work with and a very safe pair of hands – I would definitely choose to work with her again.’
Louise Dixon – Senior Editorial Director at Michael O’Mara Books:
‘Emma has written three books for us and we have found her to be a very capable and reliable author who researches her subjects thoroughly and delivers typescripts of high quality. I would definitely recommend her.’
