Nadine edited my short story Honeymoon for Best Australian Stories 2005. Her advice was insightful, perceptive and subtle. She expressed her opinions with elegant clarity, giving me concrete examples to work with, yet somehow avoiding the restrictive clamping-down on the story this might lead to in the hands of someone less skilled. It’s always enormously reassuring when an editor can write beautifully herself, and Nadine’s gentle, intelligent approach to her work inspired great confidence. The story was vastly improved by her contribution.
