I started my own business, Let’s Do It! with my partner in Kimberley 17 years ago. End of 2018 I left LDI and started a new business, Wise Owl Solutions, that provides a wide array of services including transcriptions at affordable rates. Five years ago I joined De Novo Publishers as Managing Director bringing with me my vast experience in the production of books.

Say Hi to René

She lives in Bloemfontein where she is the head of the graphic design section of Divine Studio, a Bloemfontein based business that offers laser cutting and large format printing facilities to whoever may need such services.

This is Ria 
Ria is another one of the beautiful ladies in our team. She is our proof reader and checks all our books for spelling or language errors. She is adamant that she does not accept responsibility for any mistakes that may have crept in if we make changes to our copy after she has proof read it. We have the best spell checkers on our machines but none of them is as good as Ria. Oh yes, she also sometimes serves us scones or cup cakes when we need a break.
