A MODEL OF CLARITY AND THOROUGHNESS
“When it comes to proofreading – the last line of defence for catching errors – publishers want a safe pair of hands, and Stephen York’s are the safest of all. Whether it’s applying a specified style guide, ferreting out inconsistencies, or catching an elusive orphaned citation, Stephen’s work is of an exceptional standard, and the reports he supplies with each completed job, specifying the standards applied and the outstanding author and publisher queries, are a model of clarity and thoroughness. No one hiring Stephen will be disappointed.”

ADAPTABLE … EXCELLENT AT COMMUNICATION
“We have used Stephen York Editorial Services for proofreading since 2010, and have always found that he offers a prompt and accurate service. He is adaptable, and over the years has had no trouble in adjusting his method to various workflow changes. He is also excellent at communication, always keeping me updated on the rare occasion that he cannot fulfil a requested turnaround time. I highly recommend his proofreading service.”

ALWAYS DELIVERED ON TIME TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD
“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.”
(Fiona Freel, Production Manager, Print and Digital, City & Guilds Institute, London)

THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PROOFREADING SKILLS
“Stephen worked as a proof reader for us on a major College of Social Science project involving the production of four high level research training modules for doctoral students studying at a distance. His meticulous attention to detail, care and conscientious approach was absolutely invaluable for us in ensuring that the materials were at the requisite standard of expression, clarity and accuracy – even more crucial because the students involved are scattered right across the globe and do not have face to face teaching on campus. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone seeking the highest level of proofreading skills.”
(Professor Jo Brewis, Director of Postgraduate Research, College of Social Science, now Associate Dean – Learning and Teaching, University of Leicester)
