Testimonials
Business student JW, Glasgow
“I really appreciate your work, and it has really helped. I will have 4 more works need proofreading next month, if it is possible, may I ask you for long term cooperation?”
City & Guilds Institute
“I’ve engaged Stephen as a proofreader on a multitude of projects over the years. He has worked on higher education and further education textbooks as well as online resources for me, and has always delivered on time to a very high standard. He pays meticulous attention to detail and raises valid author and editorial queries where necessary. I have no hesitation in recommending him to other publishers and organisations or individuals requiring proofreading services.”
Desk Editor
“Just a note to say thank very much for your help with this title. I was very pleased with the work you did, and your close attention and the queries you raised mean that the book will be in far better shape than it would otherwise have been. The author was very responsive to your queries and appreciated your finding things he had missed.”
Editorial Assistant
“Thanks a lot for your thorough and clear comments. I have had a look through them and resolved the editorial queries. I have passed your author queries on, too. It was a pleasure working with you and I hope to do so again in the future.”
Entrepreneurship student BA, Cardiff
“I’m happy to deal with you in the future as you are a dynamic and precise person.”
